Part of the Todoist Extended Task Manager MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use todoist_create_project to create or modify resources in Todoist Extended Task Manager. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call todoist_create_project repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Todoist Extended Task Manager.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

todoist_create_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit todoist_create_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the todoist_create_project rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block todoist_create_project completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for todoist_create_project. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides todoist_create_project? +
