## Why hubspot_delete_task is rated Critical

This tool performs a destructive action by deleting (even if soft-deleted) task records. While soft-delete is reversible in some systems, it effectively removes data from the user's active view and normal operations. Given the HubSpot context where tasks track engagement and business workflow, deletion materially harms data availability.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Archive (soft delete) a task' — this removes or archives data irreversibly from normal workflow. Although described as a soft delete, the effect is to remove the task from active use."

## Use case

AI agents call hubspot_delete_task to permanently remove resources in HubSpot 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 HubSpot MCP Server:

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