## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_todo",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

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

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

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