AI agents call delete_note to permanently remove resources in GetNote MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the description mentions moving to trash (suggesting possible recovery), the primary function is to remove notes from active use. In most systems, trash is a temporary holding area, but the operation itself is destructive and cannot be undone by normal user actions. An AI agent with access to this tool could maliciously or erroneously delete important notes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_note' combined with description stating '删除笔记（移入回收站）' (delete note, move to trash). The Chinese description explicitly indicates deletion/removal of notes, which is irreversible from the user's working context.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_note gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GetNote MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_note"
]
}delete_note disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
