Delete a CDV visual or dashboard by its numeric ID.
AI agents call delete_visual 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 irreversibly removes data (visuals and dashboards) from the Cloudera Data Visualization system. Deletion cannot be undone, making it Destructive rather than merely Write. The severity is high because an AI agent given this tool could inadvertently delete critical business analytics assets, dashboards, or reports that stakeholders depend on, with no automatic recovery mechanism stated.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_visual' and description states 'Delete a CDV visual or dashboard by its numeric ID' — the verb 'delete' is explicitly destructive and irreversible.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a CDV visual or dashboard 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_visual: 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_visual 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_visual 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_visual. 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_visual 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.
