AI agents call list_tasks to retrieve information from Wpm Mcp Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data about tasks without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval endpoint that falls squarely into the Read category. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an AI agent retrieving task lists poses no risk of data loss, financial impact, or unauthorized changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tasks' and description 'Retrieves a list of all task/request types' explicitly indicates a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

Retrieves a list of all task/request types (Contact, Owner, Resident and To Do). Note, the response payload only contains fields common across all of the request types. To retrieve the full details of the task query the retrieve endpoint specific to the task type.\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4>Required permission(s):</h4><span class=. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Wpm Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Wpm 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 Wpm 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 Wpm Mcp Server MCP server (wpm-mcp-server-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
