Erase all blackbox logs from onboard flash memory
AI agents call erase_blackbox_logs to permanently remove resources in Betaflight MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently deletes flight logs (blackbox data) from non-volatile storage with no undo mechanism. This is a Destructive action per the classification rules, as it irreversibly removes data. Severity is high because loss of flight logs could impact safety analysis, debugging, and record-keeping for FPV drone operations, though it does not directly endanger the drone or user in the immediate sense.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'erase' and description explicitly states 'Erase all blackbox logs from onboard flash memory' — this is an irreversible deletion of data stored on the device.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Erase all blackbox logs from onboard flash memory. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Betaflight MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Betaflight MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for erase_blackbox_logs: 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 Betaflight MCP Server. Nothing to install.
erase_blackbox_logs 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 erase_blackbox_logs 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 erase_blackbox_logs. 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.
erase_blackbox_logs is provided by the Betaflight MCP Server MCP server (jir13/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
