  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why clickup_delete_folder is rated Critical

The tool deletes a folder, which irreversibly removes data and cannot be undone. Despite an empty description, the name unambiguously indicates a destructive operation. In ClickUp, folders typically contain lists and tasks, so deletion would cascade and affect multiple data entities. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write because deletion is irreversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'clickup_delete_folder' which directly indicates deletion of a folder resource. The verb 'delete' is explicitly destructive."

## Use case

AI agents call clickup_delete_folder 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_folder"
  ]
}
```
