Delete a causal edge between two memory entries. Returns controller=
AI agents call agentdb_causal-edge-delete to permanently remove resources in Claude Flow — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes data (a causal edge/relationship) from a database. Even though individual edges may seem small, in a hive-mind swarm orchestration system, causal edges represent critical reasoning pathways. Deleting these could break agent decision chains, corrupt multi-agent coordination logic, or undermine the integrity of shared memory.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a causal edge between two memory entries.' The action is irreversible deletion of a relationship/edge in what appears to be a knowledge graph or causal reasoning system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a causal edge between two memory entries. Returns controller=. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Claude Flow MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Claude Flow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentdb_causal-edge-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 Claude Flow. Nothing to install.
agentdb_causal-edge-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 agentdb_causal-edge-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 agentdb_causal-edge-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.
agentdb_causal-edge-delete is provided by the Claude Flow MCP server (claude-flow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
