What delete_user_token does on Proxmox MCP Server
AI agents call delete_user_token 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_user_token is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes API tokens, which cannot be undone. Deletion of authentication credentials is a destructive action with significant operational impact—loss of API access, broken integrations, or lockout scenarios. While not as severe as deleting VMs or data (hence 'high' not 'critical'), token deletion is irreversible and falls squarely into the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_user_token' with description 'Delete an API token' explicitly performs irreversible deletion of authentication credentials.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_user_token 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_user_token, this is the rule to start with:
delete_user_token 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_user_token call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about delete_user_token

Register the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_user_token: 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_user_token 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_user_token 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_user_token. 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.
delete_user_token is provided by the Proxmox MCP Server MCP server (gethosthewalrus/proxmox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
