This tool permanently removes project secrets without recovery options. Secrets typically include API keys, credentials, and authentication tokens critical to application security and functionality. Unauthorized deletion could break integrations, disable authentication, or cause denial of service.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_secret' combined with description 'Delete a project secret by exact name' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of sensitive data (secrets).

How to control delete_secret

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

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

delete_secret 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 Turbo Quant Memory MCP Server — nothing to install.

  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
