What complete_task does on TickTick MCP Service

AI agents use complete_task to create or update resources in TickTick MCP Service — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your TickTick MCP Service environment.

Medium Risk

Why complete_task needs a policy

This tool modifies existing task data (changes completion status) but does not irreversibly delete or destroy data. It is Write rather than Destructive because completion is typically a reversible state change. Severity is medium because misuse could mark important tasks as complete prematurely, causing workflow disruption and potential data confusion, but the action remains undoable.

From the tool's definition Tool description indicates 'POST /open/v1/project/{projectId}/task/{taskId}/complete' — a POST endpoint that modifies task state by marking it complete. The action is reversible (tasks can be un-completed in most task management systems).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access complete_task gives an agent:

How to control complete_task

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TickTick MCP Service, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for complete_task:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "complete_task": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "complete_task_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

complete_task stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register TickTick MCP Service — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
