Get registered TODOs from DB
AI agents call getTodos to retrieve information from Remote MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries a database to retrieve TODO items. It performs a read-only operation that retrieves or fetches data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external operations. The lack of authentication on the server increases the severity slightly from negligible to low, but the operation itself is non-destructive and informational.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getTodos' and description states 'Get registered TODOs from DB' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get registered TODOs from DB. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Remote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Remote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for getTodos: 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 Remote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
getTodos is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the getTodos 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 getTodos. 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.
getTodos is provided by the Remote MCP Server MCP server (yamanoku-playground/2025-06-03-todo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
