Delete a specific frame from memory. This operation is destructive and cannot be undone. Args: file: Path to the .mv2 memory file frame_id: Frame ID to delete force: Skip confirmation prompt Returns: JSON with deletion confirmation
AI agents call memvid_delete to permanently remove resources in Memvid — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently deletes data (a frame from a memory file) with no ability to undo the operation. The description explicitly states 'destructive and cannot be undone', which places it squarely in the Destructive category. The presence of a 'force' parameter that skips confirmation further indicates potential for accidental or malicious misuse.
From the tool's definition Delete a specific frame from memory. This operation is destructive and cannot be undone.

Delete a specific frame from memory. This operation is destructive and cannot be undone. Args: file: Path to the .mv2 memory file frame_id: Frame ID to delete force: Skip confirmation prompt Returns: JSON with deletion confirmation. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Memvid MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Memvid MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for memvid_delete: 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 Memvid. Nothing to install.
memvid_delete 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 memvid_delete 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 memvid_delete. 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.
memvid_delete is provided by the Memvid MCP server (tapiocapioca/memvid-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
