## Why delete_checklist is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on Trello data. Although the blast radius is moderate (limited to a single checklist rather than an entire board or card), the action cannot be undone programmatically and represents permanent data loss. Destructive category is appropriate as deletion operations take precedence over Write or Execute categories.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a Trello checklist.' The operation removes a checklist irreversibly from a Trello card."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_checklist to permanently remove resources in Trello MCP Server, 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 Trello MCP Server:

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