Get a single task by ID
AI agents call getTask to retrieve information from Tweek MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves data without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. It is a read-only operation that queries task information, fitting the 'Read' category. The severity is low because retrieving a single task by ID has minimal blast radius—an AI agent misusing this tool could only access task data it is already authorized to view, with no destructive or harmful consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTask' and description 'Get a single task by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. This is a straightforward query that fetches data about a single task.

Get a single task by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Tweek MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Tweek MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getTask: 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 Tweek MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getTask 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 getTask 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 getTask. 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.
getTask is provided by the Tweek MCP Server MCP server (waspeer/tweek-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
