WHAT IT DOES

What request_task_review does on Todos

AI agents use request_task_review 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.

RISK

Why request_task_review is rated Medium

Requesting a review creates or modifies a review state/record for a task. This is a Write operation as it initiates a new review request. It is reversible (reviews can be cancelled) and does not execute code, delete data, or involve finances. Medium severity since it affects task workflow state and could trigger notifications or assignments.

From the tool's definition 'Request local review for a task' - triggers a review request action

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs request_task_review safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Todos, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For request_task_review, this is the rule to start with:

request_task_review Rate-limited

request_task_review 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.

    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Todos, apply this rule, and every request_task_review call is checked against it from then on.
