Remove a model from the scene.
AI agents call delete_model to permanently remove resources in Formlabs Local — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool explicitly removes/deletes a model from the scene. This is a destructive operation as the model data is removed and this action cannot be undone. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally delete important 3D models that a user has set up for printing.
From the tool's definition "Remove a model from the scene" — permanently removes a model, which is an irreversible deletion action.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a model from the scene. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Formlabs Local MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Formlabs Local MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_model: 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 Formlabs Local. Nothing to install.
delete_model 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_model 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_model. 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_model is provided by the Formlabs Local MCP server (mkebiclioglu/formlabs-local-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
delete_model is one line of Formlabs Local's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
