WHAT IT DOES

What delete_task does on Automagik Tools

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

RISK

Why delete_task is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on task execution records. Even though the blast radius may be limited to task records rather than critical data, deletion operations cannot be undone and represent permanent data loss. This places it in the Destructive category, which ranks higher than Execute or Write.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_task' with description 'Delete a task execution.' The verb 'delete' directly indicates irreversible removal of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_task safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_task, this is the rule to start with:

delete_task Hidden

delete_task is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Automagik Tools, apply this rule, and every delete_task call is checked against it from then on.
