WHAT IT DOES

What delete_sandbox_policy does on Nodebench

AI agents call delete_sandbox_policy to permanently remove resources in Nodebench, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_sandbox_policy is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a sandbox policy configuration. While deletion may fail if in use (preventing accidental destruction), the core function is irreversible data removal. The blast radius is significant for system security and operations—deleting an active or recently-used policy could disrupt session management or leave systems in an inconsistent state.

From the tool's definition delete_sandbox_policy: 'Delete a sandbox policy'. The verb 'Delete' indicates irreversible removal of data/configuration. The qualifier 'Fails if any active sessions are using it' confirms the action targets existing resources.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_sandbox_policy safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nodebench, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_sandbox_policy, this is the rule to start with:

delete_sandbox_policy Hidden

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