MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Todo MCP tools

Destructive · High todo_delete This tool permanently deletes todo items, which cannot be undone. Write · Low todo_add This tool creates new todo items reversibly—the data can be modified or deleted later. Write · Low todo_complete Marking a todo as complete is a reversible modification—the task record remains in the system and can be unmarked or viewed in history. Write · Low todo_update The tool creates or modifies data reversibly—it updates task metadata like completion status, priority, tags, or due dates.

4 of Todo MCP's 6 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Todo MCP

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "todo_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

{
  "todo_add": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "todo_add_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "todo_list": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "todo_list_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 Todo MCP — 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.

FAQ

Questions about Todo MCP

Can an AI agent delete data through the Todo MCP server? +

Yes. The Todo MCP server exposes 1 destructive tools including todo_delete. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Todo MCP? +

The Todo MCP server has 3 write tools including todo_add, todo_complete, todo_update. 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 Todo MCP.

How many tools does the Todo MCP server expose? +

6 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 2 are read-only. 4 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Todo MCP? +

Register the Todo MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Todo MCP tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 6 Todo MCP tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
