WHAT IT DOES

What visual_delete does on Claude Mobile

AI agents call visual_delete to permanently remove resources in Claude Mobile, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why visual_delete is rated Critical

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a visual baseline artifact. This falls clearly into the Destructive category as it cannot be undone and removes stored data. While the blast radius is scoped to visual baselines rather than production data or system files, unauthorized deletion of test/comparison baselines could disrupt QA workflows and testing pipelines, justifying 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'visual_delete' explicitly uses the verb 'delete' combined with 'visual baseline', indicating irreversible removal of data. The description states 'Delete a visual baseline' which confirms permanent data destruction.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs visual_delete safely

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

visual_delete Hidden

visual_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 Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every visual_delete call is checked against it from then on.
