WHAT IT DOES

What delete-vault-entry does on Frontmcp

AI agents call delete-vault-entry to permanently remove resources in Frontmcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete-vault-entry is rated Critical

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on sensitive authorization data stored in a vault. Once deleted, the entry cannot be recovered without restore mechanisms external to this tool. The high severity reflects the potential for an AI agent to inadvertently delete critical authentication credentials, blocking legitimate access or operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an authorization vault entry'. This irreversibly removes stored credentials or secrets from a vault.

delete-vault-entry Hidden

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