set_todo_tool_enabled · Math MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What set_todo_tool_enabled does on Math MCP Server

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why set_todo_tool_enabled needs a policy

This tool modifies state by enabling or disabling the 'todo' tool, which is a reversible write operation. The empty description prevents higher confidence, but the semantic pattern of 'set_*_enabled' clearly indicates configuration changes. Severity is medium because changing tool availability could disrupt functionality, but it is not destructive (reversible) nor financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_todo_tool_enabled' suggests modification of configuration or state; the verb 'set' indicates a write operation that changes the enabled/disabled status of another tool.
