WHAT IT DOES

What delete_application does on Coolify

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

RISK

Why delete_application is rated Critical

Deletion of an application is an irreversible action that cannot be undone. This fits the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' The blast radius depends on the application's role and data, but deleting applications can cause significant service disruption and data loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_application' with description 'Delete an application by UUID.' - the verb 'Delete' combined with the destructive action of removing an application indicates irreversible data removal.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_application safely

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

delete_application Hidden

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