delete_label
AI agents call delete_label to permanently remove resources in Todoist MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the description is empty, the tool name unambiguously indicates a deletion operation. Deleting labels in a task management system is irreversible—deleted labels cannot be undone and any tasks using that label lose the association. This places it squarely in the Destructive category rather than Write (which covers reversible modifications).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_label' which is explicitly a deletion operation on labels. Deletion is listed as a Destructive action (irreversibly deletes or overwrites data).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
delete_label. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Todoist MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Todoist MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_label: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Todoist MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_label is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_label rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_label. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_label is provided by the Todoist MCP Server MCP server (oauthbringer/todoist-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
