AI agents use createTodo to create or update resources in Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server environment.
An AI agent can call createTodo faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access createTodo gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for createTodo:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"createTodo": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "createtodo_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}createTodo stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for createTodo: 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 Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server. Nothing to install.
createTodo is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the createTodo 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 createTodo. 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.
createTodo is provided by the Stytch Consumer TODO MCP Server MCP server (stytchauth/mcp-stytch-consumer-todo-list). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
