THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete_page needs a policy

This tool permanently removes documentation pages without ability to undo the action. While the blast radius is scoped to a single page (not a cascading delete of entire spaces), deletion is inherently irreversible and damaging. Destructive operations carry higher severity than Write operations because they destroy data that cannot be recovered through normal means.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'delete_page'. Description: 'Delete a single page by ID.' The verb 'delete' is explicit; deletion is irreversible.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_page gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control delete_page

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Docmost MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_page:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_page"
  ]
}

delete_page 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 Docmost MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
