Retrieves the metadata for a specific file associated with a task history record.\r\n \r\n\r\nThis endpoint can be used for any task type - contact requests, rental owner requests, resident requests or to do\
AI agents call retrieve_history_tasks_files 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 is a read-only operation that fetches file metadata associated with task history records. There is no data modification, deletion, execution of code, or financial impact. The tool simply queries and returns metadata, which is characteristic of a Read category tool. The low severity reflects the minimal blast radius if misused - an agent could only access existing metadata, not modify systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieves the metadata for a specific file' - retrieves data without modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves the metadata for a specific file associated with a task history record.\r\n \r\n\r\nThis endpoint can be used for any task type - contact requests, rental owner requests, resident requests or to do\. 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 retrieve_history_tasks_files: 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.
retrieve_history_tasks_files 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 retrieve_history_tasks_files 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 retrieve_history_tasks_files. 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.
retrieve_history_tasks_files 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.
