Delete a shape from a tldraw file.
AI agents call tldraw_delete_shape to permanently remove resources in tldraw MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call tldraw_delete_shape doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from tldraw MCP is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a shape from a tldraw file. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the tldraw MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the tldraw MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tldraw_delete_shape: 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 tldraw MCP. Nothing to install.
tldraw_delete_shape 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 tldraw_delete_shape 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 tldraw_delete_shape. 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.
tldraw_delete_shape is provided by the tldraw MCP server (talhaorak/tldraw-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
