Permanently delete ALL trashed pages in a workspace. Irreversible.
AI agents call appflowy_empty_trash to permanently remove resources in AppFlowy MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of all trashed pages in a workspace. It cannot be undone and causes permanent data loss, making it the most severe category (Destructive). The blast radius is critical because an agent misusing this could destroy all workspace trash contents without recovery options, impacting all users' ability to recover accidentally deleted content.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states: 'Permanently delete ALL trashed pages in a workspace. Irreversible.' The terms 'Permanently delete' and 'Irreversible' indicate data destruction that cannot be undone.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Permanently delete ALL trashed pages in a workspace. Irreversible. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the AppFlowy MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the AppFlowy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for appflowy_empty_trash: 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 AppFlowy MCP. Nothing to install.
appflowy_empty_trash 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 appflowy_empty_trash 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 appflowy_empty_trash. 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.
appflowy_empty_trash is provided by the AppFlowy MCP server (weironz/appflowy_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
