Remove a contact from Resend (by ID or email). Before using this tool, you MUST double-check with the user that they want to remove this contact. Reference the contact
AI agents call remove-contact to permanently remove resources in Email Sending MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a contact irreversibly deletes data from the email system. This cannot be undone and represents permanent loss of information. While not as critical as financial or large-scale data destruction, it is clearly Destructive rather than merely a Write operation (which would be reversible/editable).
From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it will "Remove a contact from Resend (by ID or email)" — a deletion operation that is irreversible.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove-contact gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Email Sending MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove-contact:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"remove-contact"
]
}remove-contact disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
