Delete an application
AI agents call delete_application to permanently remove resources in Coolify MCP Tools — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of applications cannot be undone and represents a loss of deployed services, configurations, and potentially associated data. This is a destructive action with significant blast radius in a production infrastructure management context, warranting high severity classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_application' and description 'Delete an application' indicate irreversible removal of application data and configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete an application. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Coolify MCP Tools MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_application: 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 Coolify MCP Tools. Nothing to install.
delete_application 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 delete_application 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 delete_application. 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.
delete_application is provided by the Coolify MCP Tools MCP server (jplansink/coolify-mcp-tools). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
