What deleteApi does on Spline MCP Server
AI agents call deleteApi to permanently remove resources in Spline MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why deleteApi is rated Critical
The 'delete' prefix combined with the API context indicates this tool performs irreversible deletion of data within the Spline design environment. While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, deletion operations are inherently destructive and carry high severity due to inability to undo the action through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'deleteApi' which indicates deletion/removal functionality. Despite empty description, the 'delete' prefix is a strong signal of irreversible data removal.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs deleteApi safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Spline MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deleteApi, this is the rule to start with:
deleteApi 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 Spline MCP Server, apply this rule, and every deleteApi call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about deleteApi
deleteApi is a destructive tool on the Spline MCP Server MCP server. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Spline MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Spline MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for deleteApi: 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 Spline MCP Server. Nothing to install.
deleteApi 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 deleteApi 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 deleteApi. 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.
deleteApi is provided by the Spline MCP Server MCP server (aydinfer/spline-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
