How to control remove_documentation ↓

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

Critical Risk

An AI agent that decides to call remove_documentation doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Ragdocs is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

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

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

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

remove_documentation 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 Ragdocs — 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.

Register the Ragdocs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_documentation: 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 Ragdocs. Nothing to install.

What risk level is remove_documentation? +

remove_documentation 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 remove_documentation? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_documentation 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 remove_documentation completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remove_documentation. 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 remove_documentation? +
