delete-cache-cluster
AI agents call delete-cache-cluster to permanently remove resources in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The 'delete' verb combined with 'cache-cluster' (an AWS infrastructure resource) indicates this tool irreversibly removes a cache cluster and its data. This is a Destructive action as it cannot be undone. Severity is 'high' because deletion of cache infrastructure could impact availability and cause data loss, though not directly financial.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
delete-cache-cluster. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete-cache-cluster: 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 AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete-cache-cluster 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 delete-cache-cluster 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 delete-cache-cluster. 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.
delete-cache-cluster is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
