WHAT IT DOES

What ticktick_move_task does on TickTick MCP Server

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ticktick_move_task needs a policy

Moving a task between projects/lists is a write operation—it modifies task metadata (project assignment) in a reversible manner. An agent could misuse this by moving many tasks to wrong projects or disrupting user organization, warranting medium severity. It is not destructive (task data remains), not financial, and not execute (no arbitrary code/commands triggered).

From the tool's definition The tool description states it 'Move[s] a task to a different project/list', which is a reversible modification operation that changes the organizational structure of task data without deletion or irreversible destruction.
