An AI agent misusing this tool could permanently remove critical business data. It ranks higher than Write or Execute because the deletion cannot be reversed.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'delete_record' with no description provided. The name explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of database records.

How to control delete_record

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_record"
  ]
}

delete_record disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Lark Base MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
