WHAT IT DOES

What todo_add does on Ruflo

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

RISK

Why todo_add is rated Medium

This tool creates or appends a new task entry, which is a reversible write operation. It has minimal blast radius—a misused agent could add spurious tasks, but this causes no financial harm, data destruction, or system compromise. The operation is easily reversible through deletion or list management.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'todo_add' and description 'Add a task to the todo list' indicate creation of a new data record in a todo list system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs todo_add safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ruflo, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For todo_add, this is the rule to start with:

todo_add Rate-limited

todo_add 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.
