WHAT IT DOES

What set_project_agent_role does on Todos

AI agents use set_project_agent_role 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 set_project_agent_role is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies role assignments in a persistent data structure (the organization's role hierarchy). It is reversible (a role can be reassigned or revoked), so it does not qualify as Destructive. While it has governance implications, it does not directly move money (Financial) or execute external code (Execute). This is a Write operation that alters organizational metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Assign an agent a role' — 'assign' indicates modification of role/permission data.

set_project_agent_role Rate-limited

set_project_agent_role 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.
