What delete_decision does on Kanban

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

Critical Risk

Why delete_decision needs a policy

The 'delete' verb combined with 'decision' indicates this tool irreversibly removes decision records from the kanban board. This falls under Destructive category as deletions cannot be undone. High severity reflects potential data loss if an AI agent misuses this on important decisions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_decision' with prefix 'delete' indicates irreversible removal. Empty description prevents detailed analysis of scope, but the sibling tools (delete_item, delete_tag) on this kanban server confirm the pattern of destructive operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_decision gives an agent:

How to control delete_decision

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Kanban, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_decision:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_decision"
  ]
}

delete_decision disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Kanban — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
