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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why delete_relation is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes relationship data between entities in the Huly system. While described as 'idempotent' (safe to call multiple times), the deletion itself is irreversible and cannot be undone. The tool operates on concrete relations with specified targets, meaning a misconfigured or malicious invocation could remove important data relationships.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_relation' and description explicitly states 'delete one concrete relation by relation ID'."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_relation"
  ]
}
```
