WHAT IT DOES

What delete_action does on Starfield

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why delete_action is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call delete_action doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Starfield is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

delete_action Hidden

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