Deletes a Timestream for InfluxDB cluster by the db_cluster_id
AI agents call DeleteDbCluster to permanently remove resources in Awslabs Valkey — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a database cluster and cannot be undone. It matches the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone.' The severity is high because deletion of a database cluster impacts data availability and infrastructure, though it is scoped to a specific cluster rather than multiple resources or financial systems (which would be…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'DeleteDbCluster' with description 'Deletes a Timestream for InfluxDB cluster by the db_cluster_id' explicitly performs an irreversible deletion operation on a database cluster resource.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Deletes a Timestream for InfluxDB cluster by the db_cluster_id. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Awslabs Valkey MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Awslabs Valkey MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for DeleteDbCluster: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Awslabs Valkey. Nothing to install.
DeleteDbCluster is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the DeleteDbCluster rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for DeleteDbCluster. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
DeleteDbCluster is provided by the Awslabs Valkey MCP server (awslabs.valkey-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
