## Why google-workspace.tasks_clear_completed is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes completed tasks without the ability to undo or recover them. Even though it targets only 'completed' tasks (a subset), the operation is irreversible and constitutes data destruction. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally clear a user's entire completed task history if misdirected or operating under faulty reasoning.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Clear completed tasks' which irreversibly removes data from Google Tasks. The description explicitly instructs to 'Confirm with the user before calling', indicating the operation's destructive nature requires user consent."

## Use case

AI agents call google-workspace.tasks_clear_completed to permanently remove resources in CoWork OS, 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 CoWork OS:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "google-workspace.tasks_clear_completed"
  ]
}
```
