Critical Risk

Why remove_contact needs a policy

This tool deletes contact records from a database without ability to undo the operation. Even though the blast radius is limited to contact data rather than critical infrastructure or financial systems, the irreversible nature of data deletion classifies it as Destructive rather than Write. An AI agent could maliciously or accidentally delete important contact information.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'remove_contact' and description states 'Remove contact from local database' with phone_number argument. The verb 'remove' combined with 'from local database' indicates irreversible deletion of data.

How to control remove_contact

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

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

remove_contact 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 Automagik Tools — 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.
