Why delete_relationship needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on game state (a relationship record). Although the blast radius is constrained to a single RPG game session and not a production system with financial or safety implications, deletion is fundamentally destructive—once removed, the relationship cannot be recovered without external intervention.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_relationship' with description 'Delete a relationship'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

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

How to control delete_relationship

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

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

delete_relationship 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 DMCP — 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.
