Delete one or more output files by their output_ids. Requires explicit confirmation flag to prevent accidental deletion. Useful for cleanup after processing results.
AI agents call delete_execution_outputs to permanently remove resources in MCP Shell Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently deletes output files from the system. Even though it requires an explicit confirmation flag (a protective measure), the underlying action is irreversible deletion of data.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'delete_execution_outputs'. Description states it 'Delete[s] one or more output files' which is an irreversible data destruction operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete one or more output files by their output_ids. Requires explicit confirmation flag to prevent accidental deletion. Useful for cleanup after processing results. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MCP Shell Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MCP Shell Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_execution_outputs: 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 MCP Shell Server. Nothing to install.
delete_execution_outputs 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 delete_execution_outputs 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 delete_execution_outputs. 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.
delete_execution_outputs is provided by the MCP Shell Server MCP server (mako10k/mcp-shell-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
