Delete a specific file or folder from the media library
AI agents call delete_media_file to permanently remove resources in GoHighLevel MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes files or folders, which cannot be undone. The action has permanent consequences on stored media assets. While not directly impacting financial transactions or user accounts, deletion of media could affect business operations (e.g., removing critical marketing assets, product images, or documentation). This fits the Destructive category as the primary risk is irreversible data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete_media_file' and description says 'Delete a specific file or folder from the media library' — the word 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

delete_media_file 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_media_file 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.
