AI agents call delete_repo 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.
Deleting a repository irreversibly removes code, history, configuration, and associated data that cannot be recovered without backups. This is a classic Destructive action per the classification rules. Though the description is empty, the tool name and platform context provide sufficient evidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_repo' indicates deletion of a repository, which is irreversible data destruction. Context from sibling tools (create_repo, create_build, delete_build, delete_alerter) confirms this server manages persistent DevOps resources.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_repo gives an agent:
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_repo:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_repo"
]
}delete_repo disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

delete_repo. 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.
Register the Komodo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_repo: 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.
delete_repo 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_repo 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_repo. 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_repo 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.
Start from Komodo, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
