Get a project from Todoist
AI agents call get-project to retrieve information from Todoist MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only retrieval operation on project data. It queries the Todoist API to fetch an existing project's details, producing no side effects. The presence of destructive tools like 'delete-project' and write tools like 'add-project' on the same server confirms that this read operation is distinct from mutating actions. Misuse would only expose project information, representing minimal risk.
From the tool's definition The tool is named 'get-project' and described as 'Get a project from Todoist', which retrieves project information without modifying, creating, or deleting data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a project from Todoist. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Todoist MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Todoist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get-project: 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. Nothing to install.
get-project 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-project 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-project. 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-project is provided by the Todoist MCP server (scofieldkoh/todoist_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
