Delete a folder from PromptingBox. Prompts in the folder are moved to the default folder (not deleted). The default folder cannot be deleted.
AI agents call delete_folder to permanently remove resources in PromptingBox MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This is a destructive operation because it permanently removes a folder organization/structure without the ability to undo the deletion. Although the contained prompts are not lost (they move to default), the folder itself and its organizational hierarchy are irreversibly deleted. This cannot be reversed without recreating the folder manually.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_folder' and description explicitly states 'Delete a folder from PromptingBox.' This action irreversibly removes a folder structure, even though the prompts within are preserved by moving to the default folder.

Register the PromptingBox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_folder: 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 PromptingBox MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_folder 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_folder 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_folder. 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.
