WHAT IT DOES

What get-todo-task does on Ms 365

AI agents call get-todo-task to retrieve information from Ms 365 without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`expand`	array	—	Navigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as
`select`	string	—	Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
`todoTaskId`	string	Yes	Value for the 'todoTaskId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'todoTaskId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the todo task object as returned by Microsoft G
`fetchAllPages`	boolean	—	Follow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a sma
`includeHeaders`	boolean	—	Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
`todoTaskListId`	string	Yes	Value for the 'todoTaskListId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'todoTaskListId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the todo task list object as returned b
`excludeResponse`	boolean	—	Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get-todo-task is rated Low

Even though get-todo-task only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get-todo-task safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ms 365, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get-todo-task, this is the rule to start with:

get-todo-task Allowed

get-todo-task is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get-todo-task": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ms 365, apply this rule, and every get-todo-task call is checked against it from then on.
