Delete a specific Workspace
AI agents call delete_workspace to permanently remove resources in Retable MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a workspace destroys all contained data, projects, and tables permanently and cannot be undone. This represents the highest severity of data loss within the Retable system. The blast radius is significant—an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously destroy entire workspaces with a single call.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete_workspace' and description confirms 'Delete a specific Workspace'. This is an irreversible deletion operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a specific Workspace. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Retable MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Retable MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_workspace: 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 Retable MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_workspace 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_workspace 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 delete_workspace. 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_workspace is provided by the Retable MCP Server MCP server (retable-io/mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
