POLICY

How to control smartlead_delete_folder

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Smartlead Simplified MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for smartlead_delete_folder:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "smartlead_delete_folder"
  ]
}

smartlead_delete_folder disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
