MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous RSpace MCP Server tools

Destructive · High delete_container This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on research data containers. Destructive · High delete_form This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a form template in RSpace. Destructive · High delete_image_container_locations The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on image container marker locations. Destructive · High delete_sample This tool performs deletion, which is irreversible and cannot be undone.

39 of RSpace MCP Server's 63 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control RSpace MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and RSpace MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "delete_container": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "add_extra_fields_to_item": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_extra_fields_to_item_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "downloadFile": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "downloadfile_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register RSpace MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about RSpace MCP Server

Can an AI agent delete data through the RSpace MCP Server MCP server? +

Yes. The RSpace MCP Server server exposes 6 destructive tools including delete_container, delete_form, delete_image_container_locations. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through RSpace MCP Server? +

The RSpace MCP Server server has 33 write tools including add_extra_fields_to_item, add_image_container_locations, add_note_to_subsample. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach RSpace MCP Server.

How many tools does the RSpace MCP Server MCP server expose? +

63 tools across 3 categories: Destructive, Read, Write. 24 are read-only. 39 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on RSpace MCP Server? +

Register the RSpace MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every RSpace MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 63 RSpace MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
