WHAT IT DOES

What delete_recipe_step does on FlowDot MCP Server

AI agents call delete_recipe_step 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_recipe_step is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes data (a recipe step) and cannot be undone. While the blast radius is constrained to recipes rather than systemic infrastructure, deletion of workflow steps could break dependent automations or break references in ways difficult to repair. Classified as Destructive rather than Write because deletion is irreversible and alters system state in ways that require manual remediation.

From the tool's definition delete_recipe_step removes a step from a recipe irreversibly; the description explicitly states 'References to this step will need to be updated,' confirming the action has persistent side effects that cascade to dependent entities.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_recipe_step 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_recipe_step, this is the rule to start with:

delete_recipe_step Hidden

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