Complete a task (mark as done) in Super Productivity - NOTE: True deletion is not supported
AI agents use complete_and_archive_task to create or update resources in SP-MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your SP-MCP environment.
Completing and archiving a task modifies its state in a reversible manner—tasks can typically be unmarked or unarchived in task management systems. This is a Write operation (state modification) rather than Destructive (irreversible deletion). Severity is medium because bulk misuse could hide many tasks from view, but the operation remains reversible and does not result in data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Complete a task (mark as done)' and 'archive' it, which are reversible state changes. The explicit note 'True deletion is not supported' confirms this is modification, not irreversible destruction.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access complete_and_archive_task gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SP-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for complete_and_archive_task:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"complete_and_archive_task": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "complete_and_archive_task_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}complete_and_archive_task stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Complete a task (mark as done) in Super Productivity - NOTE: True deletion is not supported. It is categorised as a Write tool in the SP-MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the SP- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for complete_and_archive_task: 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 SP-MCP. Nothing to install.
complete_and_archive_task is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the complete_and_archive_task 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 complete_and_archive_task. 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.
complete_and_archive_task is provided by the SP- MCP server (organicmoron/sp-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
