Delete a label from Todoist
AI agents call delete-label to permanently remove resources in Todoist MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a label from the Todoist task management system. While the blast radius is moderate (labels are organizational metadata, not critical data like tasks themselves), the action is irreversible and destructive in nature. A label deletion cannot be undone through the tool's interface and would affect all tasks using that label.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-label' and description states 'Delete a label from Todoist'. The verb 'delete' combined with the Todoist API context indicates irreversible removal of data.
