Delete a comment from a task

How to control delete_task_comment ↓

AI agents call delete_task_comment to permanently remove resources in Flux MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes a comment, which cannot be undone. Deletion of content is irreversible and represents data destruction. While the blast radius is limited to a single comment rather than entire tasks or projects, it still meets the Destructive category criteria. Severity is high rather than critical because the impact is scoped to a single comment rather than bulk data or the entire collaboration space.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_task_comment' and description states 'Delete a comment from a task'. The verb 'Delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_task_comment gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Flux MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_task_comment:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_task_comment"
  ]
}

delete_task_comment disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Flux MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
