Delete a saved view.
AI agents call view_delete to permanently remove resources in THOUGHT — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a saved view is an irreversible action; once removed, the view configuration is gone unless manually recreated. This fits the Destructive category. Severity is medium because it affects only a query/view definition rather than raw memory data, limiting the blast radius.
From the tool's definition "Delete a saved view" — permanently removes a saved view from the system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a saved view. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the THOUGHT MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the THOUGHT MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for view_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 THOUGHT. Nothing to install.
view_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 view_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 view_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.
view_delete is provided by the THOUGHT MCP server (rnbbarrett/thought-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
