Retrieves complete details of a specific parent task including overview, all subtasks, and supporting files. Returns the parent task with all its subtasks in proper sequence order. Use this when you need full information about a parent task and its breakdown.
AI agents call parent_get to retrieve information from Scopecraft Command without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves structured data (parent task details, subtasks, and supporting files) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'parent_get' and description states it 'Retrieves complete details' and 'Returns the parent task' — these are retrieval operations with no mutation or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access parent_get gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Scopecraft Command, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for parent_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"parent_get": {}
}
}parent_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Retrieves complete details of a specific parent task including overview, all subtasks, and supporting files. Returns the parent task with all its subtasks in proper sequence order. Use this when you need full information about a parent task and its breakdown. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Scopecraft Command MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Scopecraft Command MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for parent_get: 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 Scopecraft Command. Nothing to install.
parent_get is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the parent_get 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for parent_get. 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.
parent_get is provided by the Scopecraft Command MCP server (scopecraft/command). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
