Remove an item from a board section.
AI agents call delete_board_item to permanently remove resources in Looker MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes content (a board item) from a Looker board section. Deletion operations cannot be easily undone and represent data loss. While the blast radius is scoped to a single board item rather than bulk deletions, the irreversible nature of removal classifies this as Destructive rather than Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_board_item' explicitly performs a removal operation. Description states 'Remove an item from a board section,' which is an irreversible deletion action.

delete_board_item 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_board_item 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.
