AI agents may call delete_workspace to permanently remove or destroy resources in Dock. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call delete_workspace in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Dock. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_workspace gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other destructive tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: deny by default, or require human approval.
Archive a workspace. Soft-delete: rows, doc body, and activity history are preserved, and the workspace can be restored from Settings · Archived. Every member loses access immediately. Idempotent: calling on an already-archived workspace returns its current archivedAt without changing anything. Requires editor role on the agent. Pass mode: "web" to surface a click-to-approve URL for the human (recommended for any non-trivial workspace); the first call returns { status: 'approval_required', approval_url, polling_url }; print approval_url in chat, user clicks + approves, you poll polling_url for the result. Without mode: "web" the call executes immediately on the agent's editor role.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Dock MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Dock MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_workspace: 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 Dock. Nothing to install.
delete_workspace 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_workspace 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_workspace. 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_workspace is provided by the Dock MCP server (https://trydock.ai/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
