## Why clickup_delete_dependency is rated Critical

Delete operations are inherently destructive as they remove data that cannot be recovered through the tool itself. Removing task dependencies affects project structure irreversibly. While the blast radius is scoped to dependency relationships (not cascading deletion of tasks themselves), this remains a destructive action warranting 'high' severity.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'clickup_delete_dependency' — the verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data. No description available to provide additional context."

## Use case

AI agents call clickup_delete_dependency to permanently remove resources in Clickup, 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 Clickup:

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