Why todoist_filters needs a policy

The description emphasizes querying and retrieving filters and tasks within filters. The phrase 'manage saved filter criteria' is somewhat ambiguous and could imply write operations, but the primary described actions are read/query operations. Confidence is slightly reduced due to the ambiguous 'manage' language.

From the tool's definition query existing filters, retrieve tasks within filters

How to control todoist_filters

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "todoist_filters": {}
  }
}

todoist_filters is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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