Why update_goal needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating goal attributes in the TickTick system. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (which would be Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (which would be Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_goal' and description '更新目标' (update goal) with parameters that modify goal properties: title, type, status, keywords, description, due_date, start_date, frequency.

How to control update_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 update_goal:

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

update_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.
