Get all projects from Todoist
AI agents call get-projects to retrieve information from Todoist MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns existing project data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It is a straightforward read operation that retrieves information from the Todoist service. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only over-query or expose project names, which poses negligible risk compared to other tools on this server like delete-project or close-task.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-projects' and description 'Get all projects from Todoist' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications or side effects.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-projects rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get-projects. 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.
get-projects is provided by the Todoist MCP server (miottid/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
