Remove one or more terms from the project. Provide the exact term and context combination to delete.
AI agents call delete_terms to permanently remove resources in POEditor MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool irreversibly deletes terms from a translation project. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone and removes data permanently. While the blast radius is somewhat contained (only affects terms within a specific project rather than entire systems), deletion operations are classified as Destructive per the categorization rules.
From the tool's definition delete_terms - Remove one or more terms from the project. Provide the exact term and context combination to delete.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove one or more terms from the project. Provide the exact term and context combination to delete. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the POEditor MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the POEditor MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_terms: 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 POEditor MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_terms 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_terms 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_terms. 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_terms is provided by the POEditor MCP Server MCP server (ryan-shaw/poeditor-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
delete_terms is one line of POEditor MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
