Critical Risk

Why delete_field needs a policy

delete_field performs irreversible deletion of database schema elements (fields/columns). This cannot be undone and affects all records in that field. Despite the empty description, the tool name unambiguously indicates destructive intent, and context from the server's other destructive tools (delete_record, delete_table) confirms this classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_field' explicitly indicates deletion of a database field. The server description confirms write and manipulation capabilities on Feishu Base databases.

How to control delete_field

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lark Base MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_field:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_field"
  ]
}

delete_field disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Lark Base MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
