What rename_tag does on TickTick MCP Service

AI agents use rename_tag 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 rename_tag needs a policy

This tool modifies existing data (tag names) in a reversible manner. It does not delete, execute code, move money, or query data without side effects. The blast radius is minimal since renaming a tag affects only that tag's metadata and dependent references, with no destructive or irreversible consequences. Categorized as Write rather than Read (which has no side effects) or Destructive (which is irreversible).

From the tool's definition Tool renames an existing tag by modifying its name from old_name to new_name. The operation is reversible (a tag can be renamed back), and the description indicates it's a modification operation ("重命名标签" = "rename tag").

How to control rename_tag

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 rename_tag:

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

rename_tag 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.
