An AI agent that decides to call delete_timeline doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Cutpilot is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_timeline safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cutpilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_timeline, this is the rule to start with:
delete_timeline 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 Cutpilot, apply this rule, and every delete_timeline call is checked against it from then on.
