Delete a contract
AI agents call delete_contract to permanently remove resources in ACI MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs irreversible deletion of a network policy artifact (a contract). Deletion operations are classified as Destructive per the schema rules. The severity is high because accidentally deleting contracts in production ACI fabrics could cause immediate network service disruptions, security policy violations, and require manual recovery.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_contract' with description 'Delete a contract'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a contract. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the ACI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the ACI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_contract: 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 ACI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_contract 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_contract 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_contract. 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_contract is provided by the ACI MCP Server MCP server (jim-coyne/aci_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
