What remove_project does on Metis Public Health
AI agents call remove_project to permanently remove resources in Metis Public Health, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_project is rated Critical
The name 'remove_project' strongly suggests irreversible deletion of project data. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly from critical to high), the destructive intent is clear from the tool name alone. In a research/knowledge management context like Metis, removing a project would likely destroy associated indexed data, citations, and tracked information.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'remove_project' which indicates deletion or removal of a project entity, with no reversibility implied.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_project safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Metis Public Health, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_project, this is the rule to start with:
remove_project is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Metis Public Health, apply this rule, and every remove_project call is checked against it from then on.
