Lists tasks with comprehensive filtering across the workflow-based task system. By default shows
AI agents call task_list 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.
The tool retrieves and filters task data from a Markdown-Driven Task Management system. The verb 'Lists' combined with the action of filtering existing tasks confirms this is a Read operation. There are no indications of creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'task_list' and description 'Lists tasks with comprehensive filtering' indicates retrieval/query operation with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access task_list 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 task_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"task_list": {}
}
}task_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Lists tasks with comprehensive filtering across the workflow-based task system. By default shows. 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 task_list: 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.
task_list 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 task_list 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 task_list. 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.
task_list 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.
