What delete_flow_edge does on instantKOM MCP Server
AI agents call delete_flow_edge 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.
Why delete_flow_edge is rated Critical
Deleting a flow edge removes a connector in an automation workflow, which cannot be easily undone and breaks flow logic. This is irreversible data loss rather than a reversible modification, making it Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_flow_edge' combined with description 'Remove a connection between nodes in a flow' indicates irreversible deletion of flow logic/structure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_flow_edge 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_edge, this is the rule to start with:
delete_flow_edge 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_edge call is checked against it from then on.
