WHAT IT DOES

What delete_app does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents call delete_app to permanently remove resources in FlowDot MCP Server, 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 data (the app and all associated metadata) from the system. While existing clones persist for their owners, the original app and its complete associated data are permanently deleted.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state: 'Permanently delete an app. This action cannot be undone.' and 'The app and all its associated data (comments, votes, etc.) will be removed.' These phrases directly indicate irreversible deletion.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_app safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FlowDot MCP Server, 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.
