What delete_feature does on Inventor

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

Why delete_feature needs a policy

This tool meets the Destructive criteria as it irreversibly removes data (CAD features) that cannot be recovered without explicit undo actions. While Inventor may support undo, the tool itself performs a non-recoverable operation from the perspective of the MCP call.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_feature' combined with description 'Delete one or more features by index' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of CAD model features.

Questions about delete_feature

What does the delete_feature tool do? +

Delete one or more features by index. Use list_features() to find indices. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Inventor 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_feature? +

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

What risk level is delete_feature? +

delete_feature 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_feature? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_feature 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_feature completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_feature. 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_feature? +

delete_feature is provided by the Inventor MCP server (neonglay/inventor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
