I'm not sure how your post ended up on my console -- probably the usual technical faults -- but judging by your message it seems as if a Time Lord agent has gone even more eccentric than usual. (I'm not surprised. Take them away from the Capitol, and they all immediately start acting strange!)

Anyway, to answer your point about tracking and communicating with TARDISes in canon...

-- The Daleks tracked the Doctor's TARDIS in The Chase.

-- The Daleks and the Monk tracked the Doctor's TARDIS, and vice versa, in The Daleks' Master Plan.

-- The Celestial Toymaker tracked and captured the Doctor's TARDIS in the story that bears his name.

-- The Elders tracked the Doctor's TARDIS in The Savages.

-- The Great Intelligence tracked and nearly captured the Doctor's TARDIS in The Web of Fear.

-- The Time Lords tracked and nearly captured the Doctor's TARDIS (and only didn't capture it because they wanted to force him to return of his own - ahem - free will) in The War Games.

-- The Doctor tracked and followed the Master's TARDIS, despite not even having a working TARDIS of his own, in The Time Monster.

-- The Time Lords were able to divert the Doctor's TARDIS to Karn in The Brain of Morbius.

-- The Time Lords sent a recall signal to all TARDISes in The Hand of Fear/The Deadly Assassin.

-- The White Guardian diverted the Doctor's TARDIS to His domain in The Ribos Operation.

-- The Time Lords sent a message to the Doctor's TARDIS in Full Circle.

-- The Keeper of Traken found and projected himself aboard the Doctor's TARDIS in the story of the same name.

-- Other people from Traken sent a message to the Doctor's TARDIS in Logopolis.

And that's just from the first four Doctors' eras. Going by canon, it should be possible to track a TARDIS.

However, most of these involve the Doctor's TARDIS and may rely on specific flaws in the Type 50 design. And if you're talking a TARDIS that fought in the Time War, it may have been specifically protected against tracking and interception.
