What delete_tag does on instantKOM MCP Server
AI agents call delete_tag 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_tag is rated Critical
Deletion operations that permanently remove data from a system are classified as Destructive rather than Write. While the blast radius is somewhat limited (affecting organizational metadata rather than core message/contact data), tags are likely used for segmentation, filtering, and workflow logic across the platform.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_tag' combined with description 'Delete a tag by ID' explicitly performs irreversible deletion of data. The verb 'delete' indicates permanent removal without undo capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_tag 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_tag, this is the rule to start with:
delete_tag 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_tag call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delete_tag
Delete a tag by ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the instantKOM MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the instantKOM MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_tag: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches instantKOM MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_tag is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_tag rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_tag. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_tag is provided by the instantKOM MCP Server MCP server (instantkom/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
