WHAT IT DOES

What delete_database does on Coolify

AI agents call delete_database 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_database is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a database, which cannot be undone. Destructive operations that erase data without recovery are the highest-risk category. A misused invocation could delete production databases, causing severe data loss and service disruption. Severity is critical due to the permanent nature and potential blast radius in a multi-tenant or production environment.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_database' and description states 'Delete a database by UUID' — the word 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_database 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_database, this is the rule to start with:

delete_database Hidden

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