Why delete_case_tag needs a policy

The tool explicitly deletes a tag from a case. Deletion is irreversible — once a tag is removed, it cannot be automatically restored. This fits the Destructive category. Severity is medium because while the action is irreversible, deleting a tag has limited blast radius (it does not delete the case itself or critical data, just metadata).

From the tool's definition 'Delete a specific tag from a case by case ID and tag ID'

POLICY

How to control delete_case_tag

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_case_tag"
  ]
}

delete_case_tag 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 Pega DX MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
