What todo does on Openaaas Mcp Adapter

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

Medium Risk

Why todo needs a policy

The tool performs multiple operations on a todo list: 'add' creates new items (Write), 'toggle' modifies existing items (Write), and 'list' reads items (Read). 'clear' could be considered Destructive (removes all items), but todo list data is generally low-stakes and recoverable. The most severe non-trivial action is Write (add/toggle), and 'clear' while destructive in nature is low-impact on a todo list.

How to control todo

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Openaaas Mcp Adapter, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for todo:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "todo": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "todo_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

todo 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.
