Delete a case by ID.
AI agents call delete_case to permanently remove resources in Mycase — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a case record from the law firm's MyCase account. Case deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone, affecting all associated data (clients, tasks, notes, invoices). This constitutes a destructive action with significant blast radius in a law firm context, where cases represent critical business records and client relationships.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_case' with description 'Delete a case by ID.' The verb 'delete' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a case by ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mycase MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mycase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_case: 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 Mycase. Nothing to install.
delete_case 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_case 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_case. 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_case is provided by the Mycase MCP server (rosenadvertising/mycase-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
