delete_branch
Deletes a development branch
Part of the Supabase MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL
AI agents may call delete_branch to permanently remove or destroy resources in Supabase. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON DELETE_BRANCH
Without a policy, an AI agent could call delete_branch in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Supabase. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
RECOMMENDED POLICY
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the delete_branch tool do?
Deletes a development branch. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Supabase MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
How do I enforce a policy on delete_branch?
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for delete_branch. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Supabase MCP server.
What risk level is delete_branch?
delete_branch is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Can I rate-limit delete_branch?
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_branch rule in your Intercept 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.
How do I block delete_branch completely?
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for delete_branch. 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.
What MCP server provides delete_branch?
delete_branch is provided by the Supabase MCP server (supabase-community/supabase-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
