delete-todo

THE RISK

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes a todo item from the user's data without possibility of recovery or undo. While the impact is scoped to a single todo entry (not a full database), deletion is by definition irreversible and represents data loss. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write, as it cannot be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an existing todo', indicating irreversible removal of data.

HOW TO CONTROL DELETE-TODO

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-todo"
  ]
}

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

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