Delete a source from a Birst space. This permanently removes the source and its data. Use with caution as this may break dependent joins, reports, and dashboards.
AI agents call birst_delete_source to permanently remove resources in Infor Birst MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of data sources and warns of cascading damage to dependent objects. Deletion operations that cannot be undone fall squarely into the Destructive category. The high severity reflects the potential blast radius of losing source data and breaking analytics infrastructure, though it is scoped to a single source rather than the entire platform.

Delete a source from a Birst space. This permanently removes the source and its data. Use with caution as this may break dependent joins, reports, and dashboards. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for birst_delete_source: 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 Infor Birst MCP Server. Nothing to install.
birst_delete_source 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 birst_delete_source 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 birst_delete_source. 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.
birst_delete_source is provided by the Infor Birst MCP Server MCP server (mikahdev/infor-birst-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
