Delete a specific folder and its subfolders.
AI agents call delete_folder to permanently remove resources in JotForm API Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes folders and all nested subfolders, which cannot be undone. This is irreversible data loss and matches the Destructive category definition. The blast radius is high because an AI agent with access could accidentally or maliciously delete entire folder hierarchies containing user forms and submissions, causing significant data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_folder' and description states 'Delete a specific folder and its subfolders.' The use of 'delete' and the irreversible nature of removing folders and nested content directly indicates a destructive operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a specific folder and its subfolders. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the JotForm API Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the JotForm API Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_folder: 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 JotForm API Server. Nothing to install.
delete_folder 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 delete_folder 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 delete_folder. 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.
delete_folder is provided by the JotForm API Server MCP server (the-ai-workshops/jotform-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
