WHAT IT DOES

What delete_flow does on instantKOM MCP Server

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

RISK

Why delete_flow is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes flows and associated nodes/edges, which cannot be undone. Even though referenced bots are preserved, the flow itself and its complete structure are irreversibly destroyed. This is a destructive operation with a potentially significant blast radius if triggered accidentally on critical automation flows in a messenger platform.

From the tool's definition 'Delete a flow and all its nodes and edges' — the tool irreversibly removes entire flow structures from the instantKOM platform. The verb 'Delete' combined with 'all its nodes and edges' indicates permanent data destruction without recovery mechanism.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_flow safely

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

delete_flow Hidden

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect instantKOM MCP Server, apply this rule, and every delete_flow call is checked against it from then on.
