Delete a note by id. This is destructive.
AI agents call notes_delete to permanently remove resources in Apple Notes MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently deletes notes, which is an irreversible action that destroys user data. This is more severe than Write or Execute because the data loss cannot be undone through normal means.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'This is destructive' and the operation deletes a note by id, which irreversibly removes data from Apple Notes without the ability to undo through the API.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a note by id. This is destructive. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Apple Notes MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Apple Notes MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for notes_delete: 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 Apple Notes MCP. Nothing to install.
notes_delete 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 notes_delete 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 notes_delete. 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.
notes_delete is provided by the Apple Notes MCP server (renatoaraujo/apple-notes-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
