What delete_event does on VaultAssist
AI agents call delete_event to permanently remove resources in VaultAssist, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_event is rated Critical
Deleting a calendar event cannot be undone and removes data permanently. While the blast radius is somewhat constrained (single event, not cascading), the irreversible nature of deletion and potential impact on scheduling/commitments (especially shared events affecting multiple users in a workspace context) justifies 'Destructive' categorization with high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_event' and description states 'Delete an event from a Google Calendar'. The verb 'delete' combined with calendar event removal indicates irreversible data destruction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_event safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and VaultAssist, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_event, this is the rule to start with:
delete_event is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect VaultAssist, apply this rule, and every delete_event call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delete_event

Register the VaultAssist MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_event: 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 VaultAssist. Nothing to install.
delete_event 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 delete_event 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 delete_event. 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.
delete_event is provided by the VaultAssist MCP server (3xcaffeine/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
