sb_delete_objects

Delete one or more objects from a Supabase storage bucket. Provide an array of file paths to delete.

Part of the Supabase MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents may call sb_delete_objects 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.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call sb_delete_objects 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.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.
