# delete_mcp_server Delete an MCP server instance. This is irreversible, removes connected users Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `delete_mcp_server`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-server ## Facts - Tool: `delete_mcp_server` - Server: Portkey Admin (`codeswhat/portkey-admin-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/CodesWhat/portkey-admin-mcp - Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Hidden ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "delete_mcp_server", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why delete_mcp_server is rated Critical This tool permanently deletes an MCP server instance and disconnects its users. The irreversible nature and potential impact on connected users (loss of access, state, configuration) makes this Destructive rather than a mere Write operation. While not directly financial, the blast radius is high due to service disruption. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Delete an MCP server instance. This is irreversible, removes connected users' - explicitly using 'Delete' and 'irreversible' indicates permanent removal of data and state." ## Use case AI agents call delete_mcp_server to permanently remove resources in Portkey Admin, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Portkey Admin: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "hide": [ "delete_mcp_server" ] } ``` ## Other tools on Portkey Admin (155) - `cancel_log_export` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/cancel-log-export.md - `delete_api_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-api-key.md - `delete_collection` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-collection.md - `delete_config` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-config.md - `delete_guardrail` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-guardrail.md - `delete_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration.md - `delete_integration_model` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-integration-model.md - `delete_mcp_integration` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-mcp-integration.md - `delete_prompt` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt.md - `delete_prompt_label` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-label.md - `delete_prompt_partial` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-prompt-partial.md - `delete_provider` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-provider.md - `delete_rate_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-rate-limit.md - `delete_secret_reference` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-secret-reference.md - `delete_usage_limit` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-usage-limit.md - `delete_user` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user.md - `delete_user_invite` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-user-invite.md - `delete_virtual_key` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-virtual-key.md - `delete_workspace` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/delete-workspace.md - `remove_workspace_member` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/remove-workspace-member.md - `run_prompt_completion` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/run-prompt-completion.md - `start_log_export` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/start-log-export.md - `test_mcp_server` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/test-mcp-server.md - `download_log_export` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/download-log-export.md - `get_analytics_group_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-metadata.md - `get_analytics_group_models` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-models.md - `get_analytics_group_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-analytics-group-users.md - `get_api_key` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-api-key.md - `get_cache_hit_latency` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-cache-hit-latency.md - `get_cache_hit_rate` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp/get-cache-hit-rate.md - …and 125 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/codeswhat-portkey-admin-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
