AI agents may call vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects to permanently remove or destroy resources in Kibana. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Kibana. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Bulk delete multiple Kibana saved objects by type and ID. This is a destructive operation that permanently removes saved objects (dashboard, visualization, index-pattern, search, config, lens, map, tag, canvas-workpad, canvas-element, etc.). WARNING: Deleted objects cannot be recovered. Use with caution. IMPORTANT: Objects that exist in multiple namespaces require the 'force' parameter to be deleted.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Kibana MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Kibana MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects: 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 Kibana. Nothing to install.
vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects 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 vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects 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 vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects. 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.
vl_bulk_delete_saved_objects is provided by the Kibana MCP server (TocharianOU/mcp-server-kibana). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
