Delete a wiki page from a GitLab project

How to control delete_project_wiki_page ↓

AI agents call delete_project_wiki_page to permanently remove resources in Gitlab — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes wiki page content, which cannot be undone without manual intervention or version control recovery. The destructive nature of deleting wiki pages—loss of documentation and project knowledge—makes this a high-severity risk if misused by an AI agent. Categorized as Destructive rather than Write because the action is irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a wiki page from a GitLab project', indicating irreversible removal of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_project_wiki_page gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Gitlab, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_project_wiki_page:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_project_wiki_page"
  ]
}

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

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