What delete_org does on Forgejo

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

Critical Risk

Why delete_org needs a policy

Deletion of an organization is an irreversible action that cannot be undone and destroys data at scale. While not a direct financial impact, the blast radius is high as it affects all members, repositories, and workflows within that organization. This is clearly Destructive rather than Write (which is reversible) or Execute (which is conditional).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_org' with description 'Delete an organization' indicates irreversible deletion of an organization entity and all associated data (repositories, members, settings, history).

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

How to control delete_org

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

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

delete_org 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 Forgejo — 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.
