Delete a category
AI agents call karea_delete_category to permanently remove resources in Karea — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a category object. This cannot be undone and may have downstream effects on related tasks and project structure. While not financial, deletion is more severe than Write (reversible modifications) or Execute (side effects depend on arguments). Destructive is the appropriate category.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a category'. The action irreversibly removes a category, which likely cascades to associated tasks, subtasks, or project organization structures.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a category. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Karea MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Karea MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for karea_delete_category: 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 Karea. Nothing to install.
karea_delete_category 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 karea_delete_category 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 karea_delete_category. 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.
karea_delete_category is provided by the Karea MCP server (starecz/karea-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
