THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete-document needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible operation that cannot be undone—deleting a collaborative document removes it permanently from the system. This is the defining characteristic of the Destructive category. While the blast radius is high (loss of collaborative work), it is not Financial or critical system-level compromise, justifying 'high' severity rather than 'critical'.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete-document' with description 'Delete a collaborative document' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of data.

POLICY

How to control delete-document

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Tiptap Collaboration MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete-document:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-document"
  ]
}

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

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