Why delete_task is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes task data from the CRM system. While soft-deletes may technically preserve database records, they constitute irreversible removal of operational data from the user's perspective—tasks become inaccessible and are effectively gone from the business workflow. This meets the Destructive category definition.
From the tool's definition delete_task" performs a "soft-delete" operation on a CRM task, removing it from normal visibility and workflow. Even though soft-deletes are theoretically recoverable, this tool irreversibly removes task records from active business operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_task safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FavCRM, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_task, this is the rule to start with:
delete_task is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FavCRM, apply this rule, and every delete_task call is checked against it from then on.
