What cookie_delete does on Mcp Anything
AI agents call cookie_delete to permanently remove resources in Mcp Anything, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why cookie_delete is rated Critical
The tool explicitly deletes a cookie by name, which is an irreversible removal operation. While cookies are relatively low-impact data, deletion cannot be undone without re-creation. The blast radius is medium since deleting session/auth cookies could disrupt user sessions or authentication state.
From the tool's definition 'Delete a cookie by name' - the word 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cookie_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cookie_delete, this is the rule to start with:
cookie_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every cookie_delete call is checked against it from then on.
