detach_page_from_work_item · Plane MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What detach_page_from_work_item does on Plane

AI agents use detach_page_from_work_item to create or update resources in Plane — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Plane environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why detach_page_from_work_item needs a policy

This tool removes an association (link) between a page and a work item. While it deletes a relationship, it does not destroy the underlying data (the page or work item themselves still exist), making it a reversible modification rather than truly destructive. It is a Write-level operation that modifies relational data.
