Why delete_issue_label needs a policy

This tool removes a label from an issue, which is a destructive action as it irreversibly deletes the label association. While the blast radius is limited (only affects label associations on issues, not the issues themselves), the action cannot be undone without manually re-adding the label.

From the tool's definition 'delete_issue_label' and 'Remove a label from an issue in a repository'

POLICY

How to control delete_issue_label

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

policy.json

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

delete_issue_label 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 AtomGit MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
