AI agents may call erase to permanently remove or destroy resources in Cnvs App. 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 erase in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Cnvs App. 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.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so erase only ever does what you allow.

What does the erase tool do? +

Delete a single item by id. kind MUST match the item type: 'text' for text nodes, 'line' for freehand strokes, 'image' for images — the wrong kind silently targets the wrong table and is a common mistake. Get the id + type from get_board (texts[], lines[], images[]). There is no bulk/erase-all tool: loop if you need to delete multiple items.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Cnvs App MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on erase? +

Register the Cnvs App MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for erase: 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 Cnvs App. Nothing to install.

What risk level is erase? +

erase is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit erase? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the erase 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.

How do I block erase completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for erase. 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.

What MCP server provides erase? +

erase is provided by the Cnvs App MCP server (https://cnvs.app/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Cnvs App tool call.
