What list-cached-data does on Dida

AI agents call list-cached-data to retrieve information from Dida without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Low Risk

Why list-cached-data needs a policy

This tool only queries and returns cached metadata (projects and tags) that was stored during prior authentication. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, and performs a simple read operation. The low severity reflects that exposing cached project/tag names poses minimal risk compared to tools that modify tasks or delete data on this server.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list-cached-data' and description states it 'List all cached projects and tags from the last authentication' — purely retrieves previously cached data with no modification, creation, or deletion.

How to control list-cached-data

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Dida, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list-cached-data:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list-cached-data": {}
  }
}

list-cached-data is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Dida — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
