Why tool_delete_path needs a policy

Deletion of files or directories is an irreversible destructive action that cannot be undone. Even without a description, the semantics of 'delete_path' clearly indicate this tool removes data permanently. Given the server's focus on file handling and terminal operations, this almost certainly deletes local filesystem objects.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'tool_delete_path' with an empty description. The verb 'delete' combined with 'path' (file system object) indicates irreversible removal of data.

How to control tool_delete_path

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

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

tool_delete_path 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 UltimateCoder — 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.
