WHAT IT DOES

What delete_slide does on ContextForge MCP Gateway

AI agents call delete_slide to permanently remove resources in ContextForge MCP Gateway, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_slide is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on presentation data. Once a slide is deleted, the action cannot be undone through the tool itself, making this a destructive operation. The high severity reflects the potential for significant data loss if an AI agent misuses this tool by deleting multiple slides or critical presentation content without proper authorization or safeguards.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_slide' and description 'Delete a slide from the presentation' explicitly indicate irreversible removal of presentation content.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_slide safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ContextForge MCP Gateway, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_slide, this is the rule to start with:

delete_slide Hidden

delete_slide is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
