Why zabbix_delete_users needs a policy

Deleting users is a destructive action that cannot be undone. User accounts removal is permanent data loss affecting authentication, permissions, and audit trails. This action modifies the security posture of the system irreversibly. While not as severe as dropping entire databases, it ranks higher than Write operations (create/update) due to the irreversibility and the sensitive nature of user management.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'zabbix_delete_users' and description states 'Delete users from Zabbix'. The verb 'delete' combined with user account deletion is irreversible.

POLICY

How to control zabbix_delete_users

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

policy.json

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

zabbix_delete_users 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 Zabbix 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.
