Deletes a codebase
AI agents call delete_codebase to permanently remove resources in Python Codebase Analysis RAG System — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool removes an entire codebase from the vector database and system, which cannot be undone. Deletion operations are irreversible and represent the most severe data loss scenario. While the blast radius depends on which codebase is targeted, the destructive nature of permanent deletion warrants 'Destructive' category and 'high' severity. Confidence is high due to explicit 'delete' terminology.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_codebase' with description 'Deletes a codebase'. The verb 'deletes' combined with the scope 'codebase' indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Deletes a codebase. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Python Codebase Analysis RAG System MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Python Codebase Analysis RAG System MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_codebase: 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 Python Codebase Analysis RAG System. Nothing to install.
delete_codebase 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_codebase 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_codebase. 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_codebase is provided by the Python Codebase Analysis RAG System MCP server (shervinemp/codebasemcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
