Delete a task and all its subtasks. This action cannot be undone.
AI agents call quire.deleteTask to permanently remove resources in Quire MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently removes data without possibility of recovery. The description explicitly warns that the action cannot be undone, making this definitively Destructive rather than Write. High severity reflects the blast radius: an AI agent error could delete critical project tasks and their entire subtask hierarchies, disrupting project management workflows.
From the tool's definition 'Delete a task and all its subtasks. This action cannot be undone.' — explicitly states irreversible deletion of data with cascading effects (subtasks also deleted).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a task and all its subtasks. This action cannot be undone. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Quire MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Quire MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for quire.deleteTask: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Quire MCP Server. Nothing to install.
quire.deleteTask is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the quire.deleteTask rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for quire.deleteTask. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
quire.deleteTask is provided by the Quire MCP Server MCP server (jacob-hartmann/quire-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
