How to control comfy_delete_workflow

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

policy.json

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

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