What cdp_deprovision_instance does on CDP MCP Server
AI agents call cdp_deprovision_instance to permanently remove resources in CDP MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why cdp_deprovision_instance is rated Critical
The term 'deprovision' strongly implies permanent removal or teardown of an infrastructure instance, which is irreversible and has a massive blast radius. Even without a description, the naming convention in this context (CDP tenant management server with ~300 tools) makes it highly likely this removes an entire tenant instance.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'deprovision_instance' — deprovisioning an instance is an irreversible destructive operation that removes/tears down an entire CDP tenant instance.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cdp_deprovision_instance safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CDP MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cdp_deprovision_instance, this is the rule to start with:
cdp_deprovision_instance 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 CDP MCP Server, apply this rule, and every cdp_deprovision_instance call is checked against it from then on.
