List tasks with optional filtering.
AI agents call ticktick_list_tasks to retrieve information from TickTick MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation—it retrieves and lists existing tasks with optional filters. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius is minimal since listing tasks cannot cause unintended harm beyond potential information exposure, which is mitigated by OAuth2 authentication.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ticktick_list_tasks' and description 'List tasks with optional filtering' indicate a query operation that retrieves task data without modification or side effects.

ticktick_list_tasks is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ticktick_list_tasks 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 ticktick_list_tasks. 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.
