THE RISK

Why superdesign_delete needs a policy

This tool permanently removes design files, which cannot be undone. Deletion of files is irreversible data loss and falls squarely into the Destructive category. The high severity reflects that an AI agent misusing this could delete important design work without recovery. Confidence is high because the intent is unambiguous from both the tool name and description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'superdesign_delete' and description states it will 'Delete a design file and update metadata'. The verb 'delete' combined with 'design file' indicates irreversible removal of data.

POLICY

How to control superdesign_delete

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_delete:

policy.json

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

superdesign_delete 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.
