What complete_task does on XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI

AI agents use complete_task to create or update resources in XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI environment.

Medium Risk

Why complete_task needs a policy

This tool modifies data (marks a task as complete) but does not irreversibly delete it. The operation is reversible—tasks can typically be uncompleted in Todoist. This fits the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly) rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because misuse could cause workflow disruption or false task completion, but the impact is localized to a user's task list and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'complete_task' and description 'Complete a Todoist task' indicate modification of task state from incomplete to complete, which is a reversible write operation (the task can be reopened or recreated).

How to control complete_task

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for complete_task:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "complete_task": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "complete_task_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

complete_task stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
