AI agents call delete_triple to permanently remove resources in Novyx — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data from the knowledge graph without reversibility. Although the blast radius is constrained to a single triple rather than mass deletion, it is still a Destructive action per the classification rules (delete = irreversible data removal).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_triple' and description states 'Delete a knowledge graph triple.' The verb 'Delete' combined with 'triple' (a unit of data in a knowledge graph) indicates irreversible removal of data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_triple gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Novyx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_triple:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_triple"
]
}delete_triple disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Delete a knowledge graph triple. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Novyx MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Novyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_triple: 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 Novyx. Nothing to install.
delete_triple is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_triple 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_triple. 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.
delete_triple is provided by the Novyx MCP server (novyxlabs/novyx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
