Deletes a data type by Id
AI agents call delete-data-type to permanently remove resources in Mcp Dev — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a data type from the Umbraco CMS, which is an irreversible operation. Data types are foundational configuration objects in Umbraco that likely affect multiple documents and content structures. Deletion cannot be undone and impacts dependent content, making this a Destructive action rather than mere Write.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'delete-data-type'; description: 'Deletes a data type by Id'. The verb 'deletes' indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Deletes a data type by Id. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mcp Dev MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mcp Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete-data-type: 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 Dev. Nothing to install.
delete-data-type 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-data-type 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-data-type. 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.
