Permanently removes an object from a specified Anytype space. This tool deletes the object and all its content. Use this tool with caution as deleted objects cannot be recovered. Always verify the object ID before deletion to avoid removing important content.
Part of the Anytype MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call delete_object to permanently remove or destroy resources in Anytype MCP Server. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call delete_object in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Anytype MCP Server. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Permanently removes an object from a specified Anytype space. This tool deletes the object and all its content. Use this tool with caution as deleted objects cannot be recovered. Always verify the object ID before deletion to avoid removing important content.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Anytype MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for delete_object. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Anytype MCP Server MCP server.
delete_object 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_object rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for delete_object. 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_object is provided by the Anytype MCP Server MCP server (Qwinty/anytype-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
