Delete one of your posts on a platform.
AI agents call scout_delete_post to permanently remove resources in Scout — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes content from a platform. Even though it operates only on the user's own posts (not third-party data), deletion is inherently irreversible and represents data loss. The high severity reflects that an AI agent with access could mistakenly or maliciously purge the user's entire post history or critical content without recovery.
From the tool's definition Tool explicitly does 'Delete one of your posts' — a permanent, irreversible removal of user content. The verb 'delete' is a canonical destructive operation that cannot be undone without external intervention (e.g., platform recovery tools).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete one of your posts on a platform. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Scout MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Scout MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for scout_delete_post: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Scout. Nothing to install.
scout_delete_post 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 scout_delete_post 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for scout_delete_post. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
scout_delete_post is provided by the Scout MCP server (lautrek/scout). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
scout_delete_post is one line of Scout's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
