AI agents call agentKnowledgeMediaRemove to permanently remove resources in Mcp Taskade — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation ('Remove') on knowledge media assets. This is a destructive action that cannot be undone. While the blast radius depends on which media is targeted, the capability to permanently delete knowledge resources warrants a 'high' severity classification. Confidence is high because the intent is unambiguous from both the name and description.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'Remove' and description states 'Remove a knowledge media' — this indicates irreversible deletion of data.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Taskade, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for agentKnowledgeMediaRemove:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"agentKnowledgeMediaRemove"
]
}agentKnowledgeMediaRemove disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
