WHAT IT DOES

What task_status does on Ruflo

AI agents call task_status to retrieve information from Ruflo without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why task_status is rated Low

This tool retrieves task status and metadata from persistent storage without modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read operation. The mention of 'cross-session task persistence' and 'completion analytics' reinforces that it queries existing state rather than altering it. Low severity due to read-only nature and limited blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_status' and description 'Get task status' indicate retrieval of task information. The description emphasizes querying from '.swarm/memory.db' for status, assignment, dependency tracking, and analytics—all read operations with no data…

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs task_status safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ruflo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For task_status, this is the rule to start with:

task_status Allowed

task_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "task_status": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ruflo, apply this rule, and every task_status call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about task_status

What does the task_status tool do? +

Get task status Use when native TodoWrite is wrong because you need cross-session task persistence, agent assignment, dependency tracking, or completion analytics in the .swarm/memory.db. For in-session checklists native TodoWrite is simpler and faster. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on task_status? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for task_status: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ruflo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is task_status? +

task_status is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit task_status? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the task_status rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block task_status completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for task_status. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides task_status? +

task_status is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
