## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `key` | string | yes | Memory key to delete |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "forget",
    "arguments": {
      "key": "<key>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why forget is rated Critical

The tool deletes stored memory entries by key and cannot be undone—a classic destructive operation. While the immediate blast radius may be limited to agent-level memory rather than production Linear data, the capacity to irreversibly erase 'sensitive data' elevates this to 'high' severity. Confidence is reduced slightly (0.85 vs.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'forget' combined with description 'Delete a previously stored memory by key' and explicit phrase 'clear sensitive data' indicates irreversible deletion of data."

## Use case

AI agents call forget to permanently remove resources in Linear, 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 Linear:

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