get_projects
AI agents call get_projects to retrieve information from Todoist MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project data from Todoist without modification. The 'get_' prefix and absence of write/delete/execute semantics, combined with the server's support for pagination (a Read pattern), confirms Read classification. Severity is low as it only exposes task/project visibility with no destructive or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_projects' indicates data retrieval. Server description emphasizes task/project management with explicit support for 'batch operations and pagination', which are typical of Read operations. No mutations or side effects are implied.

get_projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Todoist MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Todoist MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_projects: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Todoist MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_projects 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 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 MCP server (oauthbringer/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
