What search-todos does on SupaThings MCP

Why search-todos needs a policy

The tool name strongly suggests querying or retrieving task data without modification. While the description is empty, the semantic meaning of 'search' combined with the read-focused server purpose and similar sibling tools (all Read-category getters) indicates this retrieves data without side effects. Confidence is reduced slightly due to missing description, but the naming convention and context are clear.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search-todos' indicates a search/query operation. Server description emphasizes 'read and manage Things 3 data' with 'SQLite-based queries'.

How to control search-todos

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search-todos": {}
  }
}

search-todos 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 SupaThings MCP — 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.
