Safe File Deletion

Rule

Before deleting ANY file, you MUST:

  1. Call
    request_file_permission
    with
    operation: "delete"
  2. For multiple files, use
    filePaths
    array (not multiple calls)
  3. Wait for response
  4. Only proceed if "allowed"
  5. If "denied", acknowledge and do NOT delete

Applies To

  • rm
    commands (single or multiple files)
  • rm -rf
    (directories)
  • unlink
    ,
    fs.rm
    ,
    fs.rmdir
  • Any script or tool that deletes files

Examples

Single file:

{
  "operation": "delete",
  "filePath": "/path/to/file.txt"
}

Multiple files (batched into one prompt):

{
  "operation": "delete",
  "filePaths": ["/path/to/file1.txt", "/path/to/file2.txt"]
}

No Workarounds

Never bypass deletion warnings by:

  • Emptying files instead of deleting
  • Moving to hidden/temp locations
  • Using obscure commands

The user will see a prominent warning. Wait for explicit approval.
