WHAT IT DOES

What task_labels_remove does on Vikunja

AI agents call task_labels_remove to permanently remove resources in Vikunja, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why task_labels_remove is rated Critical

Removing a label from a task destroys the association between the label and the task. While the label itself is not deleted, the relationship is removed and may not be easily recoverable, placing this in the Destructive category. Severity is medium as it affects task metadata but not core task data.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a label from a task' — removing a label association is typically irreversible without knowing the prior state, and 'remove' implies deletion of the relationship
