THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete-task needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation. Once a task is deleted, it cannot be recovered through normal means. This falls under the Destructive category as defined (irreversibly deletes data). High severity is assigned because unintended task deletion could disrupt business workflows, schedules, and operations in a CRM system like GoHighLevel.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-task' which explicitly indicates irreversible deletion. The description 'Delete Task' directly confirms this is a destructive operation that removes data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete-task gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control delete-task

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete-task:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-task"
  ]
}

delete-task disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register GoHighLevel MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
