delete_task

Permanently remove a task from your ClickUp workspace. Use this tool with caution as deletion cannot be undone. Before calling, check if you already have the necessary task ID from previous responses in the conversation, as this avoids redundant lookups. For safety, the task ID is required.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
listNameNoOptional: Name of the list to narrow down task search when multiple tasks have the same name
taskIdYesID of the task to delete - this is required for safety to prevent accidental deletions. If you have this ID from a previous response, use it directly.
taskNameNoName of the task to delete - will automatically find the task by name (optional if using taskId instead). Only use this if you don't already have the task ID from previous responses.
