# dismiss_hitl

[SUPPORT] Dismiss a HITL request (won't-answer / no longer relevant). Stays in audit trail. Use list_hitl_requests to find request IDs. Persistent-state disclosure: on hosted Meridian, supplied text and project/session metadata are sent to and stored in Meridian's service; self-hosted deployments keep them in the configured local SQLite/Postgres database. This data is visible in the dashboard/API and later project context or handoffs. Delete individual tasks, notes, or decisions where supported, or delete the project/account using the documented controls. Do not include secrets.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "dismiss_hitl",
    "arguments": {
      "request_id": "<request_id>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why dismiss_hitl is rated Medium

The tool modifies the state of a HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) request by marking it as dismissed, but it does not delete it — it 'stays in audit trail.' This is a reversible state change (a write/update) rather than a destructive deletion.

From the tool's own definition: "Dismiss a HITL request (won't-answer / no longer relevant). Stays in audit trail."

## Use case

AI agents use dismiss_hitl to create or update resources in Meridian, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Meridian environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Meridian:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "dismiss_hitl": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "dismiss_hitl_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
