What delete_application_storage does on Coolify
AI agents call delete_application_storage 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.
Why delete_application_storage is rated Critical
The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on application storage. Once deleted, the storage and its contents cannot be recovered through normal means. This matches the Destructive category definition of 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' While not a database drop or force-push, deletion of application storage is a permanent data loss action with significant blast…
From the tool's definition Tool name includes "delete"; description states "Delete a storage from an application." This irreversibly removes data storage associated with an application.

The rule that runs delete_application_storage safely

delete_application_storage 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 Coolify, apply this rule, and every delete_application_storage call is checked against it from then on.
