## Why get_project_tasks_by_name is rated Low

This tool only retrieves and queries task data from a project without any ability to modify, delete, or execute operations. It has minimal security risk as it simply returns filtered task information. The severity is low because even misuse would only expose existing task data rather than causing damage or side effects.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get all pending tasks for a project' - a retrieval operation with no modification capability. The description specifies it returns existing data sorted by creation time."

## Use case

AI agents call get_project_tasks_by_name 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.
