Deletes a document by Id
AI agents call delete-document to permanently remove resources in Mcp Dev — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes documents from the Umbraco CMS. Deletion is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone through normal means, making it Destructive rather than Write. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could maliciously or mistakenly delete critical content. The high confidence reflects the unambiguous deletion semantics.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-document' and description states it 'Deletes a document by Id'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

delete-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-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-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.
