WHAT IT DOES

What delete_app does on Deloc

AI agents call delete_app to permanently remove resources in Deloc, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_app is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly removes a published application and associated files, preventing recovery. An AI agent misusing it could permanently erase a user's deployed static site and its artifacts. While the blast radius is limited to a single app (not organizational data), the permanent nature and the published/live status of targets makes this a destructive action.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_app' and description explicitly states 'Permanently delete a published app and its files' — the word 'permanently' and 'delete' are unambiguous markers of irreversible data destruction.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_app safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Deloc, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_app, this is the rule to start with:

delete_app Hidden

delete_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 Deloc, apply this rule, and every delete_app call is checked against it from then on.
