Why delete_workflow_stage needs a policy

This tool permanently removes a workflow stage from a Storyblok space. Workflow stages are structural components that cannot be trivially recreated—deletion is irreversible and will disrupt any content items or automation depending on that stage. This is a destructive operation with potential business impact, making it more severe than Write (which is reversible) but not Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Deletes a workflow stage'. The verb 'delete' combined with modifying workflow infrastructure indicates irreversible removal of configuration.

POLICY

How to control delete_workflow_stage

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

policy.json

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

delete_workflow_stage 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 Storyblok 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.
