AI agents call remove_documentation to permanently remove resources in RAG Documentation MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of data (documentation sources) that cannot be undone. While the blast radius is limited to documentation management rather than critical business operations, the permanent nature of the removal and its impact on system functionality classify it as Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition The description explicitly states 'The removal is permanent' and 'clean up outdated documentation, remove incorrect sources'. The tool deletes documentation sources irreversibly, affecting the system's search capabilities permanently.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove_documentation gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RAG Documentation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_documentation:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"remove_documentation"
]
}remove_documentation disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
