Why remove_document needs a policy

This tool permanently deletes documents from ontology entity types. While scoped to document removal rather than entire ontology deletion, it still constitutes a destructive operation that irreversibly removes data from the system. The high severity reflects that an AI agent could inadvertently delete important reference documents if instructed with ambiguous or misdirected prompts.

From the tool's definition The tool name 'remove_document' and description 'Remove a document from an entity type by its URL' directly indicates irreversible deletion of data. The action cannot be undone without recreation.

How to control remove_document

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fabric Ontology MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_document:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_document"
  ]
}

remove_document disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Fabric Ontology MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
