What delete_github_app does on Coolify
AI agents call delete_github_app 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_github_app is rated Critical
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a GitHub App resource. Although the description includes a precondition ('only if not used by any applications'), the core action is destructive—once deleted, the GitHub App cannot be recovered. This falls squarely into the Destructive category, which takes precedence over Write (which is reversible).
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete'; description states 'Delete a GitHub App', which is an irreversible removal of a GitHub App configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_github_app 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_github_app, this is the rule to start with:
delete_github_app 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_github_app call is checked against it from then on.
