Delete the metadata associated with an attachment.
AI agents call delete_attachment_metadata to permanently remove resources in Bitbucket Server MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool performs deletion, which is an irreversible operation that falls into the Destructive category. The severity is medium rather than high because metadata deletion typically has a narrower blast radius than deleting the actual attachment or critical repository data.
From the tool's definition The tool name begins with 'delete_' and the description states it will 'Delete the metadata associated with an attachment.' This is an irreversible operation that removes data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete the metadata associated with an attachment. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Bitbucket Server MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Bitbucket Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_attachment_metadata: 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 Bitbucket Server MCP. Nothing to install.
delete_attachment_metadata 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_attachment_metadata 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_attachment_metadata. 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_attachment_metadata is provided by the Bitbucket Server MCP server (manpreetshuann/bitbucket-server-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
