Deletes a knowledge base document and all its chunks from the current tenant.
AI agents call delete_knowledge_document 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 permanently removes data (knowledge documents) without a reversible operation or recovery mechanism. Deletion of data across all chunks represents an irreversible action with potential blast radius if invoked incorrectly by an AI agent (loss of organizational knowledge assets). This is categorized as Destructive rather than Write because the operation cannot be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Deletes a knowledge base document and all its chunks from the current tenant' — the verb 'Deletes' combined with 'all its chunks' indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Deletes a knowledge base document and all its chunks from the current tenant. 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_knowledge_document: 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_knowledge_document 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_knowledge_document 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_knowledge_document. 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_knowledge_document 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.
