ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete to permanently remove or destroy resources in Ibmcloud. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON IBMCLOUD_KS_CLUSTER_DELETE

Without a policy, an AI agent could call ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Ibmcloud. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

  ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete:
    rules:

What does the ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete tool do? +

Delete a Kubernetes cluster. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ibmcloud MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Ibmcloud MCP server.

What risk level is ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete? +

ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete? +

How do I block ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete. 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.

What MCP server provides ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete? +

ibmcloud_ks_cluster_delete is provided by the Ibmcloud MCP server (ibmcloud-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
