[Agents] Delete one or more CyPerf agents.
AI agents call agents_delete to permanently remove resources in CyPerf MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion is irreversible and destructive. Removing CyPerf agents from a testing infrastructure cannot be undone without manual intervention (re-provisioning), making this a destructive operation. While not financial or moving real money, the blast radius is high—an AI agent misusing this could remove critical testing infrastructure, disrupting security and performance testing workflows.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'agents_delete' and description states 'Delete one or more CyPerf agents.' The verb 'delete' combined with 'one or more agents' indicates irreversible removal of resources.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
[Agents] Delete one or more CyPerf agents. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the CyPerf MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for agents_delete: 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 CyPerf MCP Server. Nothing to install.
agents_delete 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 agents_delete 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 agents_delete. 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.
agents_delete is provided by the CyPerf MCP Server MCP server (keysight/cyperf-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
