Get a specific project by ID
AI agents call get_project 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 by identifier and performs no modifications, deletions, or external actions. It is a straightforward read operation on user task management data. Severity is low because exposure of this tool poses minimal risk to an AI agent — at worst, an agent could retrieve project information that may contain sensitive context, but cannot modify or delete anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_project' and description explicitly states 'Get a specific project by ID' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific project by ID. 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_project: 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_project 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_project 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_project. 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_project is provided by the Todoist MCP Server MCP server (rfbatista/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
