Get all Microsoft Todo task lists (the top-level containers that organize your tasks). Shows list names, IDs, and indicates default or shared lists.
AI agents call get-task-lists to retrieve information from Microsoft Todo Safe without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and displays existing task list metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a straightforward read operation that gathers information about the user's task organization structure. No reversible or irreversible changes occur.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] all Microsoft Todo task lists' and 'Shows list names, IDs, and indicates default or shared lists.' This is a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all Microsoft Todo task lists (the top-level containers that organize your tasks). Shows list names, IDs, and indicates default or shared lists. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Microsoft Todo Safe MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Microsoft Todo Safe MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-task-lists: 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 Microsoft Todo Safe. Nothing to install.
get-task-lists 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-task-lists 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-task-lists. 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-task-lists is provided by the Microsoft Todo Safe MCP server (saenai/microsoft-todo-safe-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
