WHAT IT DOES

What itglue_delete_document_section does on Itglue

AI agents call itglue_delete_document_section to permanently remove resources in Itglue — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why itglue_delete_document_section needs a policy

The tool permanently removes document sections and their content with no possibility of reversal. This is a destructive operation that irreversibly deletes data. While not as critical as financial operations, the permanent loss of documentation in an IT asset management system (ITGlue) could have significant operational impact.

From the tool's definition "Permanently delete a document section by its ID. This action CANNOT be undone." The tool explicitly deletes data irreversibly with no undo capability.

POLICY

How to control itglue_delete_document_section

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

policy.json

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

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

Create a free account and register Itglue — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
