Critical Risk

Why ghost_delete_page needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes content from a Ghost CMS instance. The operation cannot be reversed, making it Destructive rather than Write. While the blast radius is significant (loss of published or draft content), it is contained to a single page deletion rather than a cascading system failure, warranting 'high' rather than 'critical' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states: 'Deletes a page from Ghost CMS by ID. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone.' The terms 'Deletes', 'permanent', and 'cannot be undone' directly indicate irreversible data destruction.

How to control ghost_delete_page

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ghost MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ghost_delete_page:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "ghost_delete_page"
  ]
}

ghost_delete_page disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Ghost MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
