# delete_guardrail Delete a guardrail by id or slug. This is irreversible and removes the check from any configs that reference it, so review dependent configs first. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `delete_guardrail`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-guardrail ## Facts - Tool: `delete_guardrail` - Server: Portkey Admin (`codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp - Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Hidden ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "delete_guardrail", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why delete_guardrail is rated Critical The tool permanently deletes data (a guardrail) without the ability to restore it. This fits the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'. While not financial and not a cascade delete affecting the entire system, it has clear downstream effects on dependent configurations, making it high severity. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a guardrail' and 'This is irreversible'. The description emphasizes the action cannot be undone and removes the check from configs that reference it." ## Use case AI agents call delete_guardrail to permanently remove resources in Portkey Admin, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Portkey Admin: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "hide": [ "delete_guardrail" ] } ``` ## Other tools on Portkey Admin (155) - `cancel_log_export` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/cancel-log-export.md - `delete_api_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-api-key.md - `delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-collection.md - `delete_config` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-config.md - `delete_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration.md - `delete_integration_model` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration-model.md - `delete_mcp_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-integration.md - `delete_mcp_server` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-server.md - `delete_prompt` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt.md - `delete_prompt_label` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-label.md - `delete_prompt_partial` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-partial.md - `delete_provider` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-provider.md - `delete_rate_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-rate-limit.md - `delete_secret_reference` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-secret-reference.md - `delete_usage_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-usage-limit.md - `delete_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user.md - `delete_user_invite` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user-invite.md - `delete_virtual_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-virtual-key.md - `delete_workspace` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-workspace.md - `remove_workspace_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/remove-workspace-member.md - `run_prompt_completion` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/run-prompt-completion.md - `start_log_export` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/start-log-export.md - `test_mcp_server` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/test-mcp-server.md - `download_log_export` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/download-log-export.md - `get_analytics_group_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-metadata.md - `get_analytics_group_models` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-models.md - `get_analytics_group_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-users.md - `get_api_key` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-api-key.md - `get_cache_hit_latency` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-cache-hit-latency.md - `get_cache_hit_rate` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-cache-hit-rate.md - …and 125 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
