Delete multiple tasks at once based on search criteria. Use with caution - this will permanently delete matching tasks.
AI agents call todoist_tasks_bulk_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 deletes data in a way that cannot be undone. The description explicitly warns "Use with caution" and emphasizes the permanent nature of the operation. Bulk deletion with search criteria increases the risk of unintended data loss if an AI agent misapplies the filter logic. This is Destructive rather than Write because the operation is irreversible and the tool name contains 'delete'.
From the tool's definition "Delete multiple tasks at once" and "permanently delete matching tasks" - the tool explicitly performs irreversible deletion of data based on search criteria.
