Delete a note Soft-deletes the note by setting deletedAt. Syncs as deleted to connected devices.
AI agents call deleteNote to permanently remove resources in Memnote — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Although implemented as a soft-delete (setting a deletedAt flag rather than physical removal), the tool semantically deletes user data and synchronizes that deletion across devices. The user cannot retrieve the note's content through normal operations post-deletion. This is irreversible action without ability to undo, fitting the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition deleteNote tool description states it 'Delete a note' and 'Soft-deletes the note by setting deletedAt', irreversibly removing data from the user's notes system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a note Soft-deletes the note by setting deletedAt. Syncs as deleted to connected devices. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Memnote MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
deleteNote accepts 1 parameter: id. Required: id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Memnote MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deleteNote: 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 Memnote. Nothing to install.
deleteNote 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 deleteNote 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 deleteNote. 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.
deleteNote is provided by the Memnote MCP server (@randomfact/memnote-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
