WHAT IT DOES

What discover_cross_project_agents does on Todo for AI MCP Server

AI agents call discover_cross_project_agents to retrieve information from Todo for AI MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why discover_cross_project_agents is rated Low

Even though discover_cross_project_agents only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
