Delete a tweet by its ID
AI agents call delete_tweet to permanently remove resources in X — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call delete_tweet doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from X is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_tweet 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.
