WHAT IT DOES

What database_delete does on Aapanel

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

RISK

Why database_delete is rated Critical

This tool permanently and irreversibly deletes an entire database, which cannot be undone. The action has maximum blast radius—data loss is total and potentially unrecoverable. This is a quintessential Destructive action that ranks highest in severity hierarchy.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'database_delete' with description 'Delete a database.' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs database_delete safely

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

database_delete Hidden

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