How to control delete_contact_handle

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

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

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