Removes a connection from a live Trident document. Provide either the connectionId, or both source and target node IDs to find and remove the matching connection. Use get_document_summary to get all connection IDs before calling this. Requires a valid editor access token.

AI agents may call delete_connection to permanently remove or destroy resources in Trident. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call delete_connection in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Trident. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_connection gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other destructive tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: deny by default, or require human approval.
Removes a connection from a live Trident document. Provide either the connectionId, or both source and target node IDs to find and remove the matching connection. Use get_document_summary to get all connection IDs before calling this. Requires a valid editor access token.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Trident MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Trident MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_connection: 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 Trident. Nothing to install.
delete_connection 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_connection 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_connection. 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_connection is provided by the Trident MCP server (trident-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
