WHAT IT DOES

What itglue_delete_documents does on Itglue

AI agents call itglue_delete_documents 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_documents needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes data with no undo capability, fitting the Destructive category definition. While not financial, the permanent removal of potentially critical ITGlue documentation (which typically contains sensitive IT infrastructure, credentials, and operational records) represents a high-severity risk if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Permanently delete one or more documents' and 'This action CANNOT be undone.' The tool removes documents and 'All sections and content within the deleted documents will also be permanently removed.'

POLICY

How to control itglue_delete_documents

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_documents:

policy.json

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

itglue_delete_documents 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.
