Delete a URL redirect by its ID. This action is irreversible. Use cases: - Remove duplicate or outdated redirects - Clean up test data - Remove redirects that were incorrectly created
AI agents call delete_redirect to permanently remove resources in Playwright Stealth — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently removes URL redirects without undo capability. While the blast radius is limited to redirect configuration (not affecting core infrastructure or financial systems), the irreversible deletion of configuration data and potential impact on URL routing warrants 'high' severity. This is clearly Destructive rather than Write because the action cannot be reversed.
From the tool's definition 'Delete a URL redirect by its ID. This action is irreversible.' - explicitly states deletion and irreversibility.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_redirect gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Playwright Stealth, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_redirect:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_redirect"
]
}delete_redirect 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 URL redirect by its ID. This action is irreversible. Use cases: - Remove duplicate or outdated redirects - Clean up test data - Remove redirects that were incorrectly created. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Playwright Stealth MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Playwright Stealth MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_redirect: 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 Playwright Stealth. Nothing to install.
delete_redirect 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_redirect 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_redirect. 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_redirect is provided by the Playwright Stealth MCP server (pulsemcp/mcp-servers). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Playwright Stealth, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
