WHAT IT DOES

What google-workspace.tasks_delete does on CoWork OS

AI agents call google-workspace.tasks_delete 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.

RISK

Why google-workspace.tasks_delete is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a task from Google Tasks without possibility of recovery (beyond Google's recycle bin, which has limited retention). Although the description includes a safety note about confirming with the user, the underlying operation is destructive. The blast radius is high because an agent misusing this could eliminate important tasks.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description states 'Delete a Google Tasks task'. The action irreversibly removes data from the user's task management system.
