What gcp_rm_delete_project does on GCP MCP Server
AI agents call gcp_rm_delete_project to permanently remove resources in GCP MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why gcp_rm_delete_project is rated Critical
This tool irreversibly deletes or schedules for deletion an entire GCP project, which destroys all resources, data, and configurations within it. This is a destructive action that cannot be undone and represents the highest severity risk—deletion of organizational infrastructure and potentially all associated data. The action is permanent even if scheduled, making it Destructive rather than Execute.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs gcp_rm_delete_project safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GCP MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For gcp_rm_delete_project, this is the rule to start with:
gcp_rm_delete_project 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 GCP MCP Server, apply this rule, and every gcp_rm_delete_project call is checked against it from then on.
