What remove_task_label does on Vikunja MCP Server

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

Why remove_task_label needs a policy

Removing a label from a task deletes the label-task association. While labels themselves aren't deleted, this action is not easily reversible in an automated context and aligns with destructive removal operations. Severity is medium as it affects metadata/categorization rather than core task data.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a label from a task' — removal of an association (label from task) is typically irreversible without knowing the prior state, and the word 'remove' implies deletion of the relationship.
