MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Todoist tools

Write · Low add_comment Adding a comment creates new data in the Todoist system but is reversible (comments can be deleted) and has no destructive or financial implications. Write · Medium add_project This tool creates a new project in Todoist, which is a reversible write operation. Write · Low add_section This tool creates a new section within a Todoist project, which is a reversible write operation. Write · Low add_task This tool creates new task records, which is a Write operation—it modifies state reversibly without executing code or deleting data.

7 of Todoist's 14 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Todoist

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Todoist, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_comment": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_comment_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "find_tasks": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "find_tasks_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Todoist — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
