THE RISK

Why wiki_delete_page needs a policy

Although described as 'soft delete' (suggesting potential recovery), the tool removes wiki pages from normal access and is categorized as destructive because: (1) deletion/archival of data is irreversible from the user's perspective, (2) the tool's primary effect is to eliminate accessible content, and (3) misuse by an AI agent could result in loss of critical documentation or knowledge bases.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wiki_delete_page' and description 'Archive a wiki page (soft delete)' indicates irreversible removal of wiki content from active access, even if technically recoverable via archive.

POLICY

How to control wiki_delete_page

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

policy.json

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

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