## Why TRELLO_DELETE_CARDS_BY_ID_CARD is rated Critical

This tool removes data that cannot be recovered. Although the card is archived (not active), permanent deletion is an irreversible operation with no undo. The blast radius is high because an agent with incorrect parameters or flawed logic could delete important archived cards. This falls into the Destructive category, which is more severe than Write (which is reversible) or Execute (which is transient).

From the tool's own definition: "'Permanently deletes an archived Trello card' — the word 'permanently' and 'deletes' indicate irreversible data removal."

## Use case

AI agents call TRELLO_DELETE_CARDS_BY_ID_CARD to permanently remove resources in Trello, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Trello:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "TRELLO_DELETE_CARDS_BY_ID_CARD"
  ]
}
```
