## Why tasks_delete is rated Critical

Task deletion is irreversible and removes data permanently. While the blast radius is limited to a single task (not organization-wide), the destructive nature of the operation and the potential for accidental deletion of important work items justifies 'high' severity. Destructive is the most severe applicable category here, superseding Write or Execute classifications.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'tasks_delete' with description 'Delete a task'. The verb 'delete' combined with the irreversible nature of removing a task from a task management system indicates this is a destructive operation that cannot be undone."

## Use case

AI agents call tasks_delete 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Vikunja:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "tasks_delete"
  ]
}
```
