MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Mcp Todoist tools

Destructive · High todoist_shared_label_remove Removing a shared label from all tasks across the entire workspace is a broad, potentially irreversible bulk operation. Destructive · High todoist_filter_delete The tool permanently removes a filter object from the user's Todoist account. Destructive · High todoist_invitation_delete This tool irreversibly removes a pending invitation from the system. Destructive · Medium todoist_label_delete Deleting a label is an irreversible action that removes data from the user's Todoist workspace.

56 of Mcp Todoist's 85 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Mcp Todoist

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "todoist_comment_delete": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "todoist_comment_create": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "todoist_comment_create_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "todoist_activity_by_date_range": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "todoist_activity_by_date_range_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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

The Mcp Todoist server has 44 write tools including todoist_comment_create, todoist_comment_update, todoist_duplicates_merge. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Mcp Todoist.

85 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 29 are read-only. 56 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Mcp Todoist? +
