What delete_todo does on Things MCP Server

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

Why delete_todo needs a policy

Although the implementation marks items as 'cancelled' rather than permanently erasing records, from a user perspective this irreversibly removes the todo from active use. The action cannot be undone through normal tool usage (no restore/undelete tool listed), making it destructive. While less severe than data corruption, unauthorized deletion of todos could impact task management and productivity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_todo' and description states it deletes a todo item (by marking it as cancelled). The description explicitly uses language indicating removal: '删除待办事项' (delete/remove todo item).
