delete_task

THE RISK

Critical Risk

This tool irreversibly removes data (a task) and cannot be undone. Permanent deletion is the defining characteristic of the Destructive category. While the blast radius is limited to a single task rather than an entire system, accidental or malicious task deletion can still cause workflow disruption and data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_task' combined with description stating 'Permanently delete a task' with explicit acknowledgment that deletion cannot be undone (no recovery mechanism mentioned).

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

HOW TO CONTROL DELETE_TASK

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and TickTick/Dida365 MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_task:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_task"
  ]
}

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

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
