🗑️ Delete a project and all its data. Requires confirm: true for safety.
AI agents call indexfoundry_project_delete to permanently remove resources in IndexFoundry MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (projects and associated vector database contents) that cannot be recovered. Despite the safety confirmation requirement, deletion is irreversible and represents the most severe category. The blast radius is high because an AI agent with access could destroy entire RAG projects, embeddings, and indexed content without easy recovery.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete a project and all its data' with irreversible effect on stored vector databases and embeddings.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
🗑️ Delete a project and all its data. Requires confirm: true for safety. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the IndexFoundry MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the IndexFoundry MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for indexfoundry_project_delete: 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 IndexFoundry MCP. Nothing to install.
indexfoundry_project_delete 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 indexfoundry_project_delete 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 indexfoundry_project_delete. 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.
indexfoundry_project_delete is provided by the IndexFoundry MCP server (mnehmos/mnehmos.index-foundry.mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
