AI agents call delete_agent_runtime to permanently remove resources in Document Loader MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool name contains 'delete', which is a destructive operation. Although the description is empty and confidence is reduced due to lack of detail, deletion operations are irreversible and warrant the Destructive category. Deleting an agent runtime could disable critical automation and have severe blast radius if triggered unintentionally. This justifies critical severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_agent_runtime' which explicitly indicates a deletion operation. The 'delete' verb is characteristic of destructive actions that cannot be undone.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_agent_runtime gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Document Loader MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_agent_runtime:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_agent_runtime"
]
}delete_agent_runtime disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Document Loader MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_agent_runtime is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_agent_runtime rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_agent_runtime. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_agent_runtime is provided by the Document Loader MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.document-loader-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Document Loader MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
