Delete an agent (soft delete). This action is IRREVERSIBLE — the agent will be deactivated and hidden.\n\n
AI agents call delete_agent to permanently remove resources in BotUyo MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation (even though implemented as a soft delete, it is deactivated and hidden permanently from the user's perspective). It cannot be undone by the user through normal means, making it Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete an agent (soft delete). This action is IRREVERSIBLE — the agent will be deactivated and hidden.' The use of 'IRREVERSIBLE' and 'Delete' clearly indicates permanent removal of an agent resource.

Delete an agent (soft delete). This action is IRREVERSIBLE — the agent will be deactivated and hidden.\n\n. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the BotUyo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_agent: 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 BotUyo MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_agent 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 delete_agent 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 delete_agent. 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.
delete_agent is provided by the BotUyo MCP Server MCP server (marcoar1/botuyo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
