WHAT IT DOES

What delete_todo does on Coach AI

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

RISK

Why delete_todo is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes user data (todo items). Permanent deletion is irreversible and falls into the Destructive category. While the blast radius is limited to individual todo items rather than system-wide data, the irreversible nature and potential for unintended loss of important task information (especially critical for an ADHD support system where task tracking is essential) justifies a high severity…

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states "Delete a todo permanently." The word "permanently" indicates the action is irreversible and cannot be undone.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_todo safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Coach AI, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_todo, this is the rule to start with:

delete_todo Hidden

delete_todo is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
