What trash_page does on Notion MCP Server

AI agents call trash_page to permanently remove resources in Notion MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why trash_page needs a policy

Trashing a page is a destructive action that removes the page (and potentially all its child blocks/content) from active use. Even if Notion has a trash recovery mechanism, the intent and primary effect is deletion, making this Destructive. Misuse by an AI agent could result in loss of important pages and nested content, warranting a high severity rating.

From the tool's definition 'Move a page to trash' — trashing a page removes it from the workspace; while Notion may retain trashed pages temporarily, this is effectively a deletion operation from the user's perspective and is not a simple reversible write.
