Delete a project permanently. Removes all chunks, embeddings, and metadata.
AI agents call vectorise_delete_project to permanently remove resources in Vectorise — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes indexed project data (chunks, embeddings, metadata) with no undo capability. It is categorized as Destructive rather than Write because the operation cannot be reversed. Severity is high because an agent misuse could destroy significant indexed content, though the blast radius is limited to a single project.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vectorise_delete_project' combined with description 'Delete a project permanently. Removes all chunks, embeddings, and metadata.' — the words 'Delete' and 'permanently' indicate irreversible data destruction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a project permanently. Removes all chunks, embeddings, and metadata. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Vectorise MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Vectorise MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vectorise_delete_project: 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 Vectorise. Nothing to install.
vectorise_delete_project 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 vectorise_delete_project 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 vectorise_delete_project. 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.
vectorise_delete_project is provided by the Vectorise MCP server (jameslovespancakes/vectorised-embedding-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
