## Facts

- Tool: `delete_entities`
- Server: Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server (`danielsimonjr/memory-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/danielsimonjr-memory-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/danielsimonjr/memory-mcp
- Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_entities",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why delete_entities is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes entities from persistent storage without apparent undo/recovery mechanism. Deletion is irreversible and affects the knowledge graph's integrity. The ability to delete 'multiple' entities amplifies the blast radius. While not financial, this is more severe than Write (which is reversible) and qualifies as Destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'delete_entities' combined with description 'Delete multiple entities from the knowledge graph' explicitly performs irreversible deletion of data records."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_entities to permanently remove resources in Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Enhanced Knowledge Graph Memory Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_entities"
  ]
}
```
