Delete a project and all its task lists and tasks. Default projects (Chore, Repeatable) cannot be deleted.
AI agents call delete_project to permanently remove resources in TasksMultiServer — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently and irreversibly removes an entire project including all nested task lists and tasks. This is a cascading destructive operation with no undo capability mentioned. While there is a guardrail (default projects cannot be deleted), user-created projects can be completely wiped. The blast radius is significant if an AI agent misuses this—it could erase weeks or months of task planning.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_project' and description states 'Delete a project and all its task lists and tasks.' The verb 'delete' combined with 'all its task lists and tasks' indicates irreversible removal of potentially large amounts of hierarchical data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a project and all its task lists and tasks. Default projects (Chore, Repeatable) cannot be deleted. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the TasksMultiServer MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the TasksMultiServer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_project: 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 TasksMultiServer. Nothing to install.
delete_project 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 delete_project 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 delete_project. 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.
delete_project is provided by the TasksMultiServer MCP server (keyurgolani/tasksmultiserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
