WHAT IT DOES

What delete_chapter does on BookStack MCP Server

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

RISK

Why delete_chapter is rated Critical

Deletion operations are irreversible and fall under the Destructive category. Removing a chapter from a knowledge base cannot be undone without restore mechanisms, affecting potentially significant content and dependent references. While not financial or system-critical, the data loss impact justifies 'high' severity for typical knowledge base contexts.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_chapter' and description explicitly states 'Delete a chapter from BookStack.' The verb 'delete' combined with 'chapter' indicates irreversible removal of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_chapter safely

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

delete_chapter Hidden

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