What delete_object does on Tencent Cloud COS MCP Server
AI agents call delete_object to permanently remove resources in Tencent Cloud COS MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_object is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes objects from Tencent Cloud Object Storage without possibility of reversal. The action cannot be undone and results in data loss. Even though it operates on a single object rather than bulk deletion, the irreversible nature of deletion operations places it in the Destructive category, which ranks above Execute, Write, and Read in severity hierarchy.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_object' and description '删除COS中的对象' (delete object in COS) indicate irreversible deletion of data from cloud storage.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_object safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tencent Cloud COS MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_object, this is the rule to start with:
delete_object is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tencent Cloud COS MCP Server, apply this rule, and every delete_object call is checked against it from then on.
