What forget_identity does on Tenzro Ledger MCP
AI agents call forget_identity to permanently remove resources in Tenzro Ledger MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why forget_identity is rated Critical
The tool explicitly performs a 'hard-delete' of an identity record, invoking GDPR's right-to-erasure (Article 17). This is an irreversible destruction of identity data. Given the context of a wallet/identity/payments platform, erasing an identity could have cascading effects on associated wallets, payment credentials, agents, and staking positions — making this critical severity.

The rule that runs forget_identity safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tenzro Ledger MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For forget_identity, this is the rule to start with:
forget_identity is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tenzro Ledger MCP, apply this rule, and every forget_identity call is checked against it from then on.
