Delete a message from a channel

How to control discord_delete_message ↓

AI agents call discord_delete_message to permanently remove resources in Sage MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Message deletion is an irreversible action that destroys data. Once deleted, the message cannot be recovered through normal means. This meets the definition of Destructive category (deletes data that cannot be undone).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'discord_delete_message' and description states 'Delete a message from a channel'. The verb 'delete' combined with the irreversible nature of message deletion clearly indicates a destructive operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access discord_delete_message gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sage MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for discord_delete_message:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "discord_delete_message"
  ]
}

discord_delete_message disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Sage MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
