WHAT IT DOES

What manage_directories does on 20i MCP Server

AI agents call manage_directories to permanently remove resources in 20i MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why manage_directories is rated Critical

Because the tool supports both creation and deletion of directories, and deletion of directories (potentially containing files/data) is irreversible, the most severe applicable category is Destructive. A misuse could permanently remove directory trees and their contents from a hosting package.

From the tool's definition 'Create or delete directories in a hosting package' — the delete operation is irreversible

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs manage_directories safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For manage_directories, this is the rule to start with:

manage_directories Hidden

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

RESTRICT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every manage_directories call is checked against it from then on.
