Delete a document by its documentId. This is a destructive write operation.
AI agents call delete to permanently remove resources in Strapi Content MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data from the Strapi CMS. The description confirms destructive intent. While the blast radius depends on what content is deleted, deletion of CMS content (articles, pages, user data, etc.) cannot be undone without backups, making it a classic Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete'; description explicitly states 'Delete a document by its documentId' and labels it as 'a destructive write operation.'
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a document by its documentId. This is a destructive write operation. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Strapi Content MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Strapi Content MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete: 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 Strapi Content MCP. Nothing to install.
delete 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 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. 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 is provided by the Strapi Content MCP server (paulbratslavsky/strapi-content-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
