Delete a tile and its entire subtree. Cannot delete root tiles (use delete_tree). If deleting the last child, the parent
AI agents call delete_tile to permanently remove resources in Tiling Trees MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes tiles and all nested content (subtree) without reversibility. Even though the domain is research organization (not mission-critical systems), the destruction of potentially significant research hierarchies and interconnected nodes represents a high-severity operation. The tool cannot be undone based on the description provided.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_tile' combined with description 'Delete a tile and its entire subtree' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of data structures and their children.

Delete a tile and its entire subtree. Cannot delete root tiles (use delete_tree). If deleting the last child, the parent. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_tile: 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 Tiling Trees MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_tile 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_tile 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_tile. 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_tile is provided by the Tiling Trees MCP Server MCP server (k-chrispens/tiling-trees-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
