Switch to a different project workspace or create a new one. IMPORTANT: You must call this tool to set up a project before creating any TODOs. Recommendation: Call list_projects first to see existing workspaces and avoid creating duplicates. Each project isolates its TODO data completely.
AI agents use switch_project to create or update resources in Agent Todo — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Agent Todo environment.
The tool creates or modifies project workspaces, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial). The severity is low because creating a project workspace in a task management system has minimal blast radius—projects are isolated and can be deleted if created erroneously.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it can 'create a new one' project workspace. This is a create operation that modifies persistent state by adding a new project.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Switch to a different project workspace or create a new one. IMPORTANT: You must call this tool to set up a project before creating any TODOs. Recommendation: Call list_projects first to see existing workspaces and avoid creating duplicates. Each project isolates its TODO data completely. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Agent Todo MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Agent Todo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for switch_project: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Agent Todo. Nothing to install.
switch_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the switch_project rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for switch_project. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
switch_project is provided by the Agent Todo MCP server (w04m1/agent-todo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
