WHAT IT DOES

What archive_chat does on Max MCP Server

AI agents use archive_chat to create or update resources in Max MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Max MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why archive_chat is rated Medium

This tool modifies data state (marking chats as archived) but preserves the underlying messages and allows recovery via filtering. It is reversible (can presumably unarchive), making it Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition 'Archive a chat (soft delete). Messages remain, use archived=true filter to see them.' — archives chat records by setting a flag, reversibly hiding them rather than permanently deleting.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs archive_chat safely

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

archive_chat Rate-limited

archive_chat stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
