What agentdb_causal-node-delete does on Ruflo

AI agents call agentdb_causal-node-delete to permanently remove resources in Ruflo — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why agentdb_causal-node-delete needs a policy

This tool performs irreversible deletion of data structures (nodes and edges) in a causal graph database. The cascade-delete semantic means a single operation can destroy multiple interconnected records at once. In a multi-agent swarm system managing conversational AI and autonomous workflows, losing causal graph nodes could break agent coordination, memory chains, and historical reasoning.

From the tool's definition The tool name contains 'delete' and the description explicitly states 'Cascade-delete a causal node and all its incident edges' — this irreversibly removes data from the SQL fallback and cascades to related edges, with no undo mechanism mentioned.

Questions about agentdb_causal-node-delete

What does the agentdb_causal-node-delete tool do? +

Cascade-delete a causal node and all its incident edges from the SQL fallback. Native graph-node entries are unaffected (no delete API in the binding). Use when generic memory_* tools are wrong because you need AgentDB-specific controllers (HNSW vector search, hierarchical tiers, causal-graph links, pattern store/recall, RaBitQ quantization). For simple key-value persistence, memory_store/memory_retrieve are simpler. For unrelated file work, native Read/Write are fine. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ruflo MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on agentdb_causal-node-delete? +

Register the Ruflo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agentdb_causal-node-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 Ruflo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is agentdb_causal-node-delete? +

agentdb_causal-node-delete is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit agentdb_causal-node-delete? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the agentdb_causal-node-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.

How do I block agentdb_causal-node-delete completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for agentdb_causal-node-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.

What MCP server provides agentdb_causal-node-delete? +

agentdb_causal-node-delete is provided by the Ruflo MCP server (ruvnet/ruflo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
