Why ticktick_merge_tags needs a policy

Merging tags modifies data structure and relationships within the task management system. It does not delete irreversibly (hence not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code or trigger external operations (hence not Execute), and does not move money (hence not Financial). It is a data modification operation that creates or transforms existing data, fitting the Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ticktick_merge_tags' and description 'Merge two tags into one' indicates a modification operation that combines two existing tags.

How to control ticktick_merge_tags

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

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

ticktick_merge_tags 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 Server — 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.
