delete_task_dependency

Remove a blocking dependency between tasks by specifying either the depends_on or dependency_of link. Returns a confirmation.

Instructions

Remove a blocking dependency between tasks. Provide the same depends_on or dependency_of used to create it (exactly one is required). Returns a confirmation.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
task_idYesID of the task the dependency is anchored on.
depends_onNoID of the task THIS task was waiting for, to remove that link.
dependency_ofNoID of the task that depended on THIS task, to remove that link.
custom_task_idsNoSet true when the task ids are custom task IDs instead of native ClickUp IDs. Requires `team_id`.
team_idNoTeam/Workspace ID. Falls back to CLICKUP_TEAM_ID when omitted.
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Without annotations, the description indicates deletion (destructive) and returns confirmation, but does not detail error handling or side effects if the dependency does not exist.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no filler; the first sentence states the core action, the second provides precise instructions. Highly efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema, it only says 'Returns a confirmation' without specifying format or errors, and does not address `custom_task_ids`/`team_id` parameters, leaving some gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds crucial context about the conditional requirement of `depends_on`/`dependency_of` and their relation to creation, exceeding the schema alone.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Remove' and the resource 'blocking dependency between tasks', distinguishing it from siblings like 'add_task_dependency'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly instructs to provide the same `depends_on` or `dependency_of` used during creation and notes exactly one is required, offering good guidance for correct invocation.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
