WHAT IT DOES

What delete_image does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents call delete_image 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_image is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes user-uploaded image files and cannot be undone. While scoped to the user's own images (mitigating some risk), the irreversible nature of file deletion and the potential for unintended data loss if an AI agent misuses the image ID parameter classifies this as Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete one of your uploaded images by id' and 'Removes the stored file and frees the storage it used.' The verb 'Delete' combined with 'Removes the stored file' indicates irreversible deletion of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_image 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_image, this is the rule to start with:

delete_image Hidden

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