THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why superdesign_cleanup needs a policy

'Clean up' design files is an irreversible deletion operation — files are removed based on age and count thresholds. This cannot be undone once executed, qualifying it as Destructive. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could misconfigure the age/count limits and permanently delete large numbers of design files.

From the tool's definition Clean up old design files based on age and count limits

POLICY

How to control superdesign_cleanup

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "superdesign_cleanup"
  ]
}

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

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