What delete_replication_job does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call delete_replication_job to permanently remove resources in Proxmox MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why delete_replication_job is rated Critical
Replication jobs are critical infrastructure configurations that, once deleted, cannot be automatically recovered without administrative intervention or backups. Deletion is an irreversible operation that prevents data replication and could disrupt disaster recovery capabilities. This meets the Destructive category criteria as it permanently removes a configured system resource.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_replication_job' and description states 'Delete a replication job.' The verb 'delete' combined with the destructive action of removing a replication job configuration indicates irreversible removal of data/configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_replication_job safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Proxmox MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_replication_job, this is the rule to start with:
delete_replication_job 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 Proxmox MCP Server, apply this rule, and every delete_replication_job call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delete_replication_job

Register the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_replication_job: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Proxmox MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_replication_job is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_replication_job rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_replication_job. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
