WHAT IT DOES

What deleteSnapshot does on Spline MCP Server

AI agents call deleteSnapshot 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.

RISK

Why deleteSnapshot is rated Critical

The 'delete' verb in the tool name indicates an irreversible destructive action. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the semantic meaning is clear: deletion operations cannot be undone and warrant the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'deleteSnapshot' explicitly uses 'delete' verb, indicating irreversible removal of data (a snapshot). No description provided to clarify scope or reversibility.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs deleteSnapshot 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 deleteSnapshot, this is the rule to start with:

deleteSnapshot Hidden

deleteSnapshot is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
