WHAT IT DOES

What vikunja_task_relations does on Vikunja MCP Server

AI agents use vikunja_task_relations to create or update resources in Vikunja MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Vikunja MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why vikunja_task_relations is rated Medium

The tool modifies task relationship state by creating and removing associations between tasks. While reversible (relationships can be added back), these operations change data state and could disrupt task workflows if misused. It is Write rather than Destructive because the operations are reversible and do not permanently erase data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'relate tasks, unrelate tasks' which are modifying operations. 'Relate' creates a relationship link between tasks; 'unrelate' removes that link. These are reversible write operations.
