`calendarName`	string	—	The calendar name (default: 'tasks')

RISK

Why delete_task is rated Critical

Deleting a task is an irreversible operation that permanently removes data from Nextcloud Tasks. This matches the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone (delete, drop, purge, force-push).' While the blast radius is limited to a single task (not system-wide), the irreversible nature and explicit statement of irreversibility warrant 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a task' and 'This action is irreversible.' The function name 'delete_task' combined with the irreversible deletion semantics clearly indicates destructive behavior.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_task safely

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

delete_task Hidden

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