Delete a work log for a work item.
AI agents call delete_work_log 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.
Deletion operations that cannot be undone fall under the Destructive category. Removing work logs from work items is an irreversible action that destroys historical records and audit trails. While not catastrophic at the enterprise level, it has a high severity due to the loss of accountability and tracking information that project teams rely on.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_work_log' and description 'Delete a work log for a work item' explicitly use the verb 'delete', which irreversibly removes data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a work log for a work item. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Plane MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Plane MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_work_log: 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 Plane. Nothing to install.
delete_work_log 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_work_log 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_work_log. 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_work_log is provided by the Plane MCP server (@makeplane/plane-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
