Remove a contact and/or their conversation history. Use when you want to clean up your address book or remove old conversations.
Part of the Threadline MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call threadline_forget to permanently remove or destroy resources in Threadline. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call threadline_forget in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Threadline. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept 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.

It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Threadline MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for threadline_forget. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Threadline MCP server.
threadline_forget 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 threadline_forget rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for threadline_forget. 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.
threadline_forget is provided by the Threadline MCP server (threadline-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Open source. One binary. Zero dependencies.
