Delete a tag by UUID.
AI agents call delete_tag to permanently remove resources in Mcp Mealie — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently removes a tag from the Mealie system. Deletion is an irreversible action that cannot be undone, fitting the Destructive category. Severity is high because deleting tags could affect recipe organization, meal plans, and shopping lists that may reference those tags, but the blast radius is scoped to taxonomy data rather than critical system operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete'; description states 'Delete a tag by UUID' — irreversible data removal operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a tag by UUID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mcp Mealie MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mcp Mealie MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_tag: 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 Mcp Mealie. Nothing to install.
delete_tag 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_tag 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_tag. 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_tag is provided by the Mcp Mealie MCP server (obrien-matthew/mcp-mealie). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
