What delete_user does on Thinkific MCP Server
AI agents call delete_user to permanently remove resources in Thinkific MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_user is rated Critical
Deleting a user is irreversible and removes associated data (enrollments, progress, potentially orders and payment history). This constitutes permanent, unrecoverable data destruction affecting business operations and user records. An AI agent misusing this tool could cause severe harm by deleting active users, instructors, or administrators, making this a critical-severity action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_user' and description 'Delete a user from the Thinkific site' explicitly indicate permanent removal of user data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_user safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Thinkific MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_user, this is the rule to start with:
delete_user 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 Thinkific MCP Server, apply this rule, and every delete_user call is checked against it from then on.
