What get_tasks does on XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI

AI agents call get_tasks to retrieve information from XiaozhiMCP-MapNAVI without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_tasks needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries a task list from Todoist without modifying, deleting, or executing any tasks. It is purely informational and has no side effects beyond data retrieval. Severity is low because task list data is typically non-sensitive personal information with minimal blast radius if accessed or returned incorrectly.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_tasks' with description 'Get Todoist task list' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

How to control get_tasks

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 get_tasks:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_tasks": {}
  }
}

get_tasks is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
