dismiss_reminder · Todos MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What dismiss_reminder does on Todos

AI agents use dismiss_reminder to create or update resources in Todos — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Todos environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why dismiss_reminder needs a policy

Dismissing a reminder modifies the state of a reminder (marks it as dismissed), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data permanently, execute code, or have financial implications. The blast radius is low as it only affects a single reminder's state.

Verdict

dismiss_reminder Rate-limited

dismiss_reminder 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.
