Delete a local note after explicit confirmation.
AI agents call delete_note to permanently remove resources in Local Knowledge Desk — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (a note) and cannot be undone. Although it requires explicit confirmation, confirmation is a UI/UX pattern and does not change the destructive nature of the operation. Destructive actions have higher severity than Write operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_note' and description 'Delete a local note after explicit confirmation' directly indicate irreversible deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a local note after explicit confirmation. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Local Knowledge Desk MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Local Knowledge Desk MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_note: 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 Local Knowledge Desk. Nothing to install.
delete_note 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_note 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_note. 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_note is provided by the Local Knowledge Desk MCP server (matiaslaukka/openai-mcp-project). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
