A Trident with one durability remaining can use its melee attack
The bug
When a trident has one durability remaining, it is possible to hit a mob with it, consuming the last durability and destroying the trident. The fix of MC-163946 implies that tridents are intended to be like elytra, unable to be used when only one durability is remaining so that the player can’t accidentally destroy this rare item.
To reproduce
/give @s minecraft:trident[minecraft:damage=249]
Make sure you’re in survival mode because creative mode doesn’t use tool durability. While at close range to a mob, left click the mob with the trident to perform the melee attack (not throwing). The mob is damaged and the trident is destroyed.
