🗑️ [CAREFUL - DELETE FILE] Delete a specific file from a project. ⚠️ WARNING: This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Use only when absolutely certain.
AI agents call memory_bank_delete_file to permanently remove resources in Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes files from a MongoDB-backed memory bank without recovery options. File deletion is an irreversible destructive action with potential significant impact if misused by an AI agent (loss of project data, version history, etc.).
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete_file' and description explicitly states 'DELETE FILE' with warning 'This action is permanent and cannot be undone.' The 🗑️ emoji and [CAREFUL - DELETE FILE] prefix further emphasize irreversible data destruction.

It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memory_bank_delete_file: 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 Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb. Nothing to install.
memory_bank_delete_file 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 memory_bank_delete_file 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 memory_bank_delete_file. 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.
memory_bank_delete_file is provided by the Memory Bank Mcp Mongodb MCP server (sato-isolated/memory-bank-mcp-mongo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
