Get all user projects
AI agents call get_user_projects to retrieve information from Ticktick without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves project information for the authenticated user without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query that returns data, making it a Read category tool with low severity since unauthorized access to project lists poses minimal immediate risk compared to destructive or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_user_projects' and description 'Get all user projects' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'get' is a standard indicator of read-only functionality.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_user_projects gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ticktick, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_user_projects:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_user_projects": {}
}
}get_user_projects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get all user projects. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ticktick MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ticktick MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_user_projects: 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 Ticktick. Nothing to install.
get_user_projects 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_user_projects 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_user_projects. 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_user_projects is provided by the Ticktick MCP server (@alexarevalo.ai/mcp-server-ticktick). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Ticktick, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
