Delete a section and all its tasks from Todoist. Can delete by section ID or section name search.
AI agents call todoist_section_delete to permanently remove resources in Mcp Todoist — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (sections and tasks) that cannot be undone. Deletion of multiple dependent items (section + all its tasks) represents a high blast radius. If an AI agent misuses this tool, it could irreversibly destroy significant amounts of user work and project structure. This is a clear Destructive category case, more severe than Write operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a section and all its tasks from Todoist.' The word 'delete' combined with deletion of both sections and all contained tasks indicates irreversible data removal.
