Why agents_delete is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes an AI agent and its associated configuration (triggers), which cannot be recovered. This is a classic destructive operation with no undo capability. The critical severity reflects that deleting agents could disrupt business processes, messaging workflows, and automation systems that depend on those agents. The high confidence is based on unambiguous language in the description.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Permanently delete" and "cannot be undone." The agent and all its triggers are irreversibly removed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs agents_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For agents_delete, this is the rule to start with:
agents_delete 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 Dialogbrain, apply this rule, and every agents_delete call is checked against it from then on.
