List sections within a project
AI agents call list_sections 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 and queries existing sections from a project without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with no potential for unintended side effects, making it low severity even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_sections' and description 'List sections within a project' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is explicitly enumerated in the Read category guidelines.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List sections within a project. 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 list_sections: 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.
list_sections 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 list_sections 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 list_sections. 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.
list_sections is provided by the Todoist MCP Server MCP server (rauf543/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
