THE RISK

Why mess_delete_monthly_registration needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion of a monthly registration record. While not a financial transaction itself, cancelling a monthly meal plan constitutes destructive action on user data/commitments that cannot be undone without re-registration. This is more severe than Write (which would be reversible modifications) and warrants Destructive classification due to the permanent nature of deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a monthly mess registration'. This is an irreversible operation that removes a standing meal registration commitment.

POLICY

How to control mess_delete_monthly_registration

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

policy.json

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

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