Get a comprehensive overview of all projects with their sections and task counts.
AI agents call get_project_overview to retrieve information from Todoist MCP Helper without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries project information (overview, sections, task counts) without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is purely informational and has no side effects, fitting the Read category. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes existing project structure and counts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_overview' and description 'Get a comprehensive overview of all projects with their sections and task counts' indicate retrieval of project metadata and statistics with no modification or side effects.
