PERMANENTLY delete an agent and all its logs, memories, and threads.
AI agents call delete_agent to permanently remove resources in Spaceship MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes multiple categories of data (agent configuration, logs, memories, and threads) and cannot be undone. This meets the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' While the blast radius is limited to a single agent's artifacts rather than affecting financial transactions or system-wide execution, the permanent loss of data…
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'PERMANENTLY delete an agent and all its logs, memories, and threads.' The use of 'PERMANENTLY' and the breadth of deletion (agent, logs, memories, threads) clearly indicates irreversible data destruction.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
PERMANENTLY delete an agent and all its logs, memories, and threads. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Spaceship MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Spaceship MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_agent: 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 Spaceship MCP. Nothing to install.
delete_agent 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_agent 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_agent. 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_agent is provided by the Spaceship MCP server (spaceship-ai/spaceship-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
