What delete_service_scheduled_task does on Coolify
AI agents call delete_service_scheduled_task to permanently remove resources in Coolify, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_service_scheduled_task is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes a scheduled task, which is an irreversible action. Once deleted, the task configuration is lost unless restored from backup. This falls under the Destructive category as it exceeds Write (which is reversible) and has significant blast radius if invoked incorrectly on production services. Severity is high due to potential service disruption from removal of critical automated tasks.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a scheduled task from a service.' The verb 'delete' combined with the irreversible action of removing a scheduled task indicates destruction of data/configuration that cannot be automatically undone.
