What supermemory_forget does on CoWork OS
AI agents call supermemory_forget to permanently remove resources in CoWork OS, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why supermemory_forget is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes stored memory entries. Once forgotten, the data cannot be recovered, making it Destructive. High severity because an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously purge important knowledge entries that inform future behavior.

The rule that runs supermemory_forget safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CoWork OS, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For supermemory_forget, this is the rule to start with:
supermemory_forget 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 CoWork OS, apply this rule, and every supermemory_forget call is checked against it from then on.
