# delete_workflow_status

Permanently delete an unreferenced generic workflow Status by ID or exact name. Refuses deletion while any StatusCategory default, ProjectType, TaskType, or task record references it. This tool never rewrites tracker workflow arrays; use tracker-specific workflow tools to remove those references first.

## Why delete_workflow_status is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes workflow status data from a project management system (Huly). While it includes safety checks to prevent deletion of referenced statuses, the core operation is permanent deletion ('delete' + 'Permanently'), which cannot be undone. This makes it Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Permanently delete' and 'Refuses deletion while any... record references it' - indicating irreversible data removal with safeguards against orphaned references."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_workflow_status to permanently remove resources in Huly, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Huly:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_workflow_status"
  ]
}
```
