Delete a CDV workspace by its numeric ID.
AI agents call delete_workspace 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.
Deleting a workspace is a destructive action that cannot be undone and would remove all associated resources (dashboards, datasets, visuals, etc.) within that workspace. This causes permanent data loss with potentially significant blast radius depending on workspace scope and user dependencies. Classified as Destructive rather than Write because the operation is irreversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_workspace' and description states 'Delete a CDV workspace by its numeric ID.' The verb 'delete' and the action of removing a workspace are irreversible operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a CDV workspace 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_workspace: 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_workspace 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_workspace 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_workspace. 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_workspace 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.
