Delete a folder and all its contents
AI agents call delete_folder to permanently remove resources in GASSAPI MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes a folder and all nested data. Destructive category is appropriate because the action cannot be undone and results in permanent loss of data. Severity is high because an AI agent misusing this could delete entire organizational API development structures, environments, or testing workflows managed within the GASSAPI system.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_folder' with description 'Delete a folder and all its contents' — explicitly performs irreversible deletion of data structures and their contents.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a folder and all its contents. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the GASSAPI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the GASSAPI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_folder: 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 GASSAPI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_folder 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_folder 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_folder. 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_folder is provided by the GASSAPI MCP Server MCP server (martin-1103/mcp2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
