What delete_procedure does on Komodo

AI agents call delete_procedure to permanently remove resources in Komodo — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Why delete_procedure needs a policy

The 'delete_' prefix on a DevOps management server performing operations on procedures (likely automation workflows or runbooks) indicates irreversible removal of data/configuration. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the context of a resource management platform and parallel destructive tools (delete_alerter, delete_build) strongly suggest this performs unrecoverable deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_procedure' combined with sibling tools (delete_alerter, delete_build) on a DevOps platform indicates irreversible deletion. Description is empty, but the naming convention aligns with other destructive operations on this Komodo platform.

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

How to control delete_procedure

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_procedure"
  ]
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register Komodo — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about delete_procedure

What does the delete_procedure tool do? +

delete_procedure. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Komodo MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on delete_procedure? +

Register the Komodo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_procedure: 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 Komodo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is delete_procedure? +

delete_procedure is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit delete_procedure? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_procedure 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.

How do I block delete_procedure completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_procedure. 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.

What MCP server provides delete_procedure? +

delete_procedure is provided by the Komodo MCP server (myrikld/komodo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Komodo tool call.

Start from Komodo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
