What remove_schema does on Codehooks Io MCP Server

AI agents call remove_schema to permanently remove resources in Codehooks Io MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Why remove_schema needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes schema validation rules from a collection, which is a destructive operation. While the data itself may persist, removing the schema eliminates critical metadata that governs data structure and validation. This is irreversible in the sense that the schema definition is lost, and recovering it would require external backups or knowledge of the original schema.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_schema' combined with description 'Remove JSON schema from a collection' indicates irreversible deletion of schema metadata.

How to control remove_schema

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Codehooks Io MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_schema:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_schema"
  ]
}

remove_schema disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Codehooks Io MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
