THE RISK

Why reminders.delete_reminder needs a policy

Deletion operations are irreversible and cannot be undone. Even though a single reminder deletion has a limited scope (not a full account wipe), the destructive nature of delete operations and the fact that reminders may contain important task information or time-sensitive instructions justifies the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'reminders.delete_reminder' with description 'Delete a reminder.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

POLICY

How to control reminders.delete_reminder

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "reminders.delete_reminder"
  ]
}

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