Delete task by ID (permanent, cannot be undone).
AI agents call task_delete to permanently remove resources in Vector Task MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data (task records) from the database. The description's explicit mention of 'permanent' and 'cannot be undone' confirms it meets the Destructive category definition. While the blast radius is somewhat contained to task data rather than critical system resources, the permanent loss of user data warrants high severity. Confidence is high because the intent and effect are unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Delete task by ID (permanent, cannot be undone). The description explicitly states the action is permanent and cannot be undone, which is the defining characteristic of destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete task by ID (permanent, cannot be undone). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Vector Task MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Vector Task MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for task_delete: 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 Vector Task MCP Server. Nothing to install.
task_delete 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 task_delete 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 task_delete. 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.
task_delete is provided by the Vector Task MCP Server MCP server (xsaven/vector-task-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
