listProjects
AI agents call listProjects to retrieve information from Todoist MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves or queries project data with no side effects. Despite the empty description, the name pattern 'list*' is a standard read operation in CRUD terminology. Context from sibling tools (create, delete, archive, complete) confirms this server includes destructive/write operations separately, positioning 'listProjects' as a read-only operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'listProjects' indicates a retrieval operation that queries and lists existing projects without modification.

Register the Todoist MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for listProjects: 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 Server. Nothing to install.
listProjects 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 listProjects 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 listProjects. 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.
listProjects is provided by the Todoist MCP Server MCP server (stevengonsalvez/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
