What transkribus_search_reset_index does on Transkribus
AI agents call transkribus_search_reset_index to permanently remove resources in Transkribus, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why transkribus_search_reset_index is rated Critical
Resetting a search index is an irreversible destructive operation that wipes existing indexed data. While the index can potentially be rebuilt, the act of resetting it destroys the current index state. This could cause loss of search functionality and indexed content across an entire platform or specific collection, making it high severity.

The rule that runs transkribus_search_reset_index safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Transkribus, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For transkribus_search_reset_index, this is the rule to start with:
transkribus_search_reset_index is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Transkribus, apply this rule, and every transkribus_search_reset_index call is checked against it from then on.
