AI agents call agloop_get_next_task to retrieve information from Agloop without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves computed task sequencing information and returns it for informational purposes. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any action on the underlying system. The topological sort is a read-only computation over existing task data. Classification as Read is appropriate; severity is low because misuse would only result in an incorrect task recommendation without side effects.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Compute the next task using topological sort. Returns the recommended next task and reasoning. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Agloop MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Agloop MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agloop_get_next_task: 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 Agloop. Nothing to install.
agloop_get_next_task 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 agloop_get_next_task 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 agloop_get_next_task. 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.
agloop_get_next_task is provided by the Agloop MCP server (zebbern/agloop-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
