Get a paginated list of tasks for the organization
AI agents call list_tasks to retrieve information from Tembo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists existing task data with pagination. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, and does not trigger external operations. It is purely a query operation that fits the Read category. Severity is low because listing tasks poses minimal security risk—it returns only organizational data without execution or financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tasks' and description 'Get a paginated list of tasks for the organization' indicate a read-only retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external actions.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a paginated list of tasks for the organization. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tembo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tembo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_tasks: 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 Tembo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_tasks 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 list_tasks 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 list_tasks. 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.
list_tasks is provided by the Tembo MCP Server MCP server (tembo/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
