What create_goal does on TickTick MCP Service

AI agents use create_goal 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 create_goal needs a policy

This tool creates new data (goals) in a reversible manner. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The blast radius is medium because a compromised agent could create many unwanted goals or clutter the user's task management system, but the effects are reversible via deletion (delete_goal exists as a sibling tool).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_goal' and description '创建新目标' (create new goal) with parameters like title, type, keywords, description, dates, and frequency. The tool creates and stores new goal data in TickTick's goal management system.

How to control create_goal

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 create_goal:

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

create_goal 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.
