WHAT IT DOES

What curl_delete does on Curl MCP Server

AI agents call curl_delete to permanently remove resources in Curl MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why curl_delete is rated Critical

HTTP DELETE requests are inherently destructive operations that remove data from remote systems. While the actual impact depends on what server endpoint is targeted, the tool's explicit purpose is to delete resources. Combined with the curl capability to target arbitrary URLs, this tool could irreversibly delete data on any accessible HTTP service.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'curl_delete' and description states 'Make an HTTP DELETE request using curl'. HTTP DELETE requests are designed to delete resources on remote servers.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs curl_delete safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Curl MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For curl_delete, this is the rule to start with:

curl_delete Hidden

curl_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
