WHAT IT DOES

What delete_private_key does on Coolify

AI agents call delete_private_key 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_private_key is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a private key, which cannot be undone. Private keys are sensitive security credentials; their deletion causes irreversible loss of access and trust relationships. The blast radius is critical—a compromised agent could delete keys needed for authentication, encryption, or signing, causing service outages or security breaches.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly uses 'delete' and the description states it will 'Delete a private key by UUID', indicating irreversible removal of cryptographic credentials.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_private_key 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_private_key, this is the rule to start with:

delete_private_key Hidden

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