HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-update-task ## Facts - Tool: `clickup_update_task` - Server: ClickUp MCP Server - Enhanced (`chykalophia/clickup-mcp-server---enhanced`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced.md - Homepage: https://github.com/Chykalophia/ClickUp-MCP-Server---Enhanced - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "clickup_update_task", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why clickup_update_task is rated Medium This tool modifies task data within ClickUp but does not delete or irreversibly destroy information. Updates are reversible through subsequent edits or version history. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could mistakenly modify many tasks or update critical task properties (status, assignee, deadlines) with incorrect values, causing workflow disruption, but changes can be undone. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'clickup_update_task' and description states 'Update an existing ClickUp task'. The verb 'update' indicates modification of existing data in a reversible manner." ## Use case AI agents use clickup_update_task to create or update resources in ClickUp MCP Server - Enhanced, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ClickUp MCP Server - Enhanced environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ClickUp MCP Server - Enhanced: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "clickup_update_task": { "limits": [ { "counter": "clickup_update_task_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on ClickUp MCP Server - Enhanced (201) - `clickup_bulk_delete_tasks` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-bulk-delete-tasks.md - `clickup_delete_attachment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-attachment.md - `clickup_delete_chat_message` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-chat-message.md - `clickup_delete_chat_message_reaction` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-chat-message-reaction.md - `clickup_delete_checklist` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-checklist.md - `clickup_delete_checklist_item` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-checklist-item.md - `clickup_delete_comment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-comment.md - `clickup_delete_custom_field` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-custom-field.md - `clickup_delete_dependency` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-dependency.md - `clickup_delete_doc` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-doc.md - `clickup_delete_doc_page` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-doc-page.md - `clickup_delete_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-folder.md - `clickup_delete_goal` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-goal.md - `clickup_delete_goal_target` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-goal-target.md - `clickup_delete_list` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-list.md - `clickup_delete_subtask` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-subtask.md - `clickup_delete_task` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-task.md - `clickup_delete_time_entry` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-time-entry.md - `clickup_delete_view` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-view.md - `clickup_delete_webhook` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-delete-webhook.md - `clickup_merge_tasks` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-merge-tasks.md - `clickup_remove_chat_channel_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-remove-chat-channel-member.md - `clickup_add_processing_rule` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-add-processing-rule.md - `clickup_bulk_attachment_operations` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-bulk-attachment-operations.md - `clickup_ping_webhook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-ping-webhook.md - `clickup_process_webhook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-process-webhook.md - `clickup_resolve_dependency_conflicts` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-resolve-dependency-conflicts.md - `clickup_retry_webhook_events` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-retry-webhook-events.md - `clickup_start_realtime_engine` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-start-realtime-engine.md - `clickup_start_timer` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced/clickup-start-timer.md - …and 171 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/chykalophia-clickup-mcp-server-enhanced.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
