delete_intake_work_item
AI agents call delete_intake_work_item to permanently remove resources in Plane — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The 'delete' prefix categorizes this as Destructive rather than Write, since deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone through normal operations. High severity reflects the risk that an AI agent could permanently remove work items without recovery.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_intake_work_item' which explicitly uses the 'delete' verb, indicating irreversible removal of work item data. The Plane context (project management/work tracking system) confirms this affects persistent records.
