WHAT IT DOES

What list_todos does on Coach AI

AI agents call list_todos to retrieve information from Coach AI without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_todos is rated Low

This tool retrieves and filters existing todo data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes information the user has already created.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_todos' and description states it 'List todos filtered by status.' The verb 'list' and action of retrieving/querying todos with no modification indicate a read-only operation.

list_todos Allowed

list_todos is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
