What deleteIdentityProviderWithId does on Fusionauth
AI agents call deleteIdentityProviderWithId to permanently remove resources in Fusionauth, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why deleteIdentityProviderWithId is rated Critical
The tool performs an irreversible deletion of an identity provider resource. Once deleted, the identity provider configuration and its associations cannot be recovered without restoration from backups. This is a destructive operation that could disrupt authentication flows and user access if misused by an agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and description states 'Deletes the identity provider for the given Id.' This is an irreversible deletion operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs deleteIdentityProviderWithId safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fusionauth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deleteIdentityProviderWithId, this is the rule to start with:
deleteIdentityProviderWithId 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 Fusionauth, apply this rule, and every deleteIdentityProviderWithId call is checked against it from then on.
