THE RISK

Why remove_category_from_menu needs a policy

Removing a category from the menu is an irreversible deletion of a navigation structure element. While the category itself may still exist, the menu entry is removed and this action is not automatically reversible without re-adding it manually. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write because the operation deletes rather than modifies data.

From the tool's definition "Remove a category from the main navigation menu tree" — removes/deletes an item from the navigation menu

POLICY

How to control remove_category_from_menu

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_category_from_menu"
  ]
}

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

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