What purge_cdn_cache does on 20i MCP Server
AI agents call purge_cdn_cache 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.
Why purge_cdn_cache is rated Critical
Purging CDN cache permanently removes cached data and cannot be undone; while the original content remains intact at origin, the cached copies are irrecoverably deleted and CDN performance may be temporarily degraded. This fits the Destructive category as the action cannot be reversed.
From the tool's definition 'Purge CDN cache' — purging a cache is an irreversible deletion of cached content, forcing re-fetching from origin
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs purge_cdn_cache 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 purge_cdn_cache, this is the rule to start with:
purge_cdn_cache 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 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every purge_cdn_cache call is checked against it from then on.
