Get all active sections. Supports filtering by project and pagination.
AI agents call get_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 section information from Todoist without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward query operation that returns filtered lists of existing sections. No write, execute, destructive, or financial operations are involved. The low severity reflects minimal risk from misuse—an agent could retrieve sections but cannot cause irreversible changes or execute arbitrary code.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_sections' and description states 'Get all active sections' with support for 'filtering by project and pagination'. The verb 'Get' and the read-only retrieval nature confirm this is a data query operation with no side effects.

Get all active sections. Supports filtering by project and pagination. 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_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.
get_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 get_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 get_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.
get_sections 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.
