Delete a component by ID
AI agents call delete_component to permanently remove resources in SketchupMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes data (a component) from the SketchUp model without the possibility of undo via the tool itself. While SketchUp may have native undo functionality, the tool's primary action is destructive. In a 3D modeling context, deleting components can result in loss of work and cannot be undone by the tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_component' with description 'Delete a component by ID'. The verb 'delete' and irreversible nature of removing a 3D component from a SketchUp model indicate destructive capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a component by ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the SketchupMCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Sketchup MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_component: 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 SketchupMCP. Nothing to install.
delete_component 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_component 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_component. 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_component is provided by the Sketchup MCP server (piexl/sketchup-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
