What vikunja_labels does on Vikunja MCP Server

Why vikunja_labels is rated Medium
The tool provides full CRUD operations on labels, which are reversible metadata modifications (Create, Read, Update, Delete). While it includes Delete, label deletion in a task management system is typically reversible (via undo, backup, or restoration) and does not permanently destroy critical task data itself. This places it in Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Manage task labels with full CRUD operations for organizing and categorizing tasks — CRUD indicates Create, Read, Update, Delete capabilities; label management is inherently data modification without permanent destruction or financial impact.
