THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why goclaw_session_delete needs a policy

Permanent deletion of a chat session constitutes irreversible data destruction with no undo capability. This is definitively Destructive rather than Write. Severity is high because deletion of sessions could affect audit trails, user records, or operational history, though the blast radius is scoped to individual sessions rather than infrastructure-wide or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a chat session permanently' — irreversible removal of data.

POLICY

How to control goclaw_session_delete

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "goclaw_session_delete"
  ]
}

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

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