POLICY

How to control monday-delete-item

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and @mcp Server Monday, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for monday-delete-item:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "monday-delete-item"
  ]
}

monday-delete-item disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register @mcp Server Monday — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
