Add an existing task into a dependency planning view. Returns summary plus changed ids by default; set verbose=true for full data.
AI agents use add_task_to_dependency_view to create or update resources in Roadmap Skill — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Roadmap Skill environment.
This tool modifies data reversibly by establishing or adding task associations within a dependency view. It does not delete data (thus not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (thus not Execute), and does not move money (thus not Financial). The write severity is medium rather than high because changes are localized to planning metadata and are reversible via removal operations.
From the tool's definition Tool adds/inserts an existing task into a dependency planning view (write/modify operation). Description explicitly states 'Add an existing task into a dependency planning view,' which creates new associations and modifies the planning graph structure.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_task_to_dependency_view gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Roadmap Skill, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_task_to_dependency_view:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"add_task_to_dependency_view": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "add_task_to_dependency_view_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}add_task_to_dependency_view stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add an existing task into a dependency planning view. Returns summary plus changed ids by default; set verbose=true for full data. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Roadmap Skill MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Roadmap Skill MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for add_task_to_dependency_view: 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 Roadmap Skill. Nothing to install.
add_task_to_dependency_view is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the add_task_to_dependency_view 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 add_task_to_dependency_view. 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.
add_task_to_dependency_view is provided by the Roadmap Skill MCP server (shiquda/roadmap-skill). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
