Permanently remove a routine. In-flight verb dispatches already issued will still complete; future fires are cancelled.
AI agents call routine_delete to permanently remove resources in Yaver — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Yes |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
An AI agent that decides to call routine_delete doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Yaver is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

Register the Yaver MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for routine_delete: 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 Yaver. Nothing to install.
routine_delete 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 routine_delete 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 routine_delete. 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.
routine_delete is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
