THE RISK

Why identity_delete_api_key_provider needs a policy

The tool performs a deletion operation (indicated by 'delete' in the name) on an identity/API key provider, which is irreversible and cannot be undone. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the explicit 'delete' verb in the name clearly indicates a destructive action. This falls under Destructive rather than Write because deletion cannot be reversed.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'identity_delete_api_key_provider' contains 'delete', indicating irreversible removal of an API key provider resource.

POLICY

How to control identity_delete_api_key_provider

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Finch MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for identity_delete_api_key_provider:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "identity_delete_api_key_provider"
  ]
}

identity_delete_api_key_provider disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Finch MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
