What seafile_delete does on Seafile MCP Server
AI agents call seafile_delete to permanently remove resources in Seafile MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why seafile_delete is rated Critical
The tool name explicitly indicates deletion functionality in a storage management context. Deletion is irreversible—files cannot be recovered through normal operations. This represents a high blast radius if invoked by an AI agent on unintended targets (wrong files, directories, or libraries).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'seafile_delete' with no description provided. In the context of a cloud storage system (Seafile), 'delete' operations irreversibly remove files or directories.

The rule that runs seafile_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Seafile MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For seafile_delete, this is the rule to start with:
seafile_delete 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 Seafile MCP Server, apply this rule, and every seafile_delete call is checked against it from then on.
