Delete a section.
AI agents call delete_section to permanently remove resources in Todoist — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion is inherently destructive—it cannot be undone and removes data structure (a section) and potentially organized task content. While not financial or directly executing arbitrary code, the irreversible nature of removing a section from a user's task management system warrants 'Destructive' classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_section' and description 'Delete a section' indicate irreversible deletion of data. Context shows this is part of a Todoist management system where sections organize tasks within projects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a section. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Todoist MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Todoist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_section: 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 Todoist. Nothing to install.
delete_section 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_section 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_section. 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_section is provided by the Todoist MCP server (stevengonsalvez/mcp-todoist). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
