WHAT IT DOES

What delete_category does on Thinkific MCP Server

AI agents call delete_category to permanently remove resources in Thinkific MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_category is rated Critical

The tool irreversibly removes a category, which cannot be undone. Deletion of a category may cascade to affect associated courses, products, or content, making this a high-severity destructive action. An AI agent misusing this tool could permanently remove important organizational structures and the data they contain.

From the tool's definition delete_category: Delete a category from the Thinkific site.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_category safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Thinkific MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_category, this is the rule to start with:

delete_category Hidden

delete_category is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
