Delete a CDV dataset by its numeric ID.
AI agents call delete_dataset to permanently remove resources in Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes data (a dataset) from the Cloudera Data Visualization system. Dataset deletion cannot be undone and represents an irreversible loss of data artifacts. While not a direct financial impact, the destructive nature of permanently deleting datasets—which may contain weeks or months of work, configuration, or critical business data—warrants a 'high' severity rating.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_dataset' and description states 'Delete a CDV dataset by its numeric ID.' The verb 'Delete' combined with the action of removing a dataset is irreversible.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a CDV dataset by its numeric ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_dataset: 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 Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_dataset 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 delete_dataset 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 delete_dataset. 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.
delete_dataset is provided by the Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server MCP server (kevintalbert/cdv-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
delete_dataset is one line of Cloudera Data Visualization MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
