WHAT IT DOES

What create_project_comment does on Todoist MCP Server

AI agents use create_project_comment to create or update resources in Todoist MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Todoist MCP Server environment.

THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why create_project_comment needs a policy

This tool creates new comments on Todoist projects, which is a reversible write operation. While comments can be deleted (evidenced by the sibling tool 'delete_comment'), the primary action here is creating/modifying project state by adding content.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Add a comment' and 'Returns the complete comment object with all metadata upon successful creation', indicating data creation.

POLICY

How to control create_project_comment

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Todoist MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_project_comment:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_project_comment": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_project_comment_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_project_comment 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.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
