Delete a time entry by ID.
AI agents call delete_time_entry to permanently remove resources in Redmine — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently removes time entry records, which cannot be undone. This is a destructive action by definition. Severity is medium rather than high because time entry deletion affects only a single record at a time (not bulk operations) and impacts project tracking/billing data in a reversible way through audit logs or re-entry, but the direct action itself is irreversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly uses 'delete' and description states 'Delete a time entry by ID' — this is an irreversible removal operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a time entry by ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Redmine MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Redmine MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_time_entry: 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 Redmine. Nothing to install.
delete_time_entry 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_time_entry 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 delete_time_entry. 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.
delete_time_entry is provided by the Redmine MCP server (yenpu/redmine-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
