AI agents call get_comment to retrieve information from Todoist without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves an existing comment from Todoist without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as it can only expose comment data that the authenticated user already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool is named 'get_comment' and described as 'Get a specific comment by ID.' The verb 'Get' combined with 'by ID' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a specific comment by ID. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Todoist MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Todoist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_comment: 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. Nothing to install.
get_comment 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_comment 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_comment. 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_comment is provided by the Todoist MCP server (stevengonsalvez/mcp-todoist). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
