Empties the document recycle bin.
AI agents call empty-recycle-bin 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.
Emptying a recycle bin permanently destroys all contained documents with no possibility of recovery. This is the most severe form of destructive action: irreversible and affecting potentially many documents at once, justifying a critical severity rating.
From the tool's definition 'Empties the document recycle bin' — permanently purges all items in the recycle bin, which is an irreversible mass-deletion operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Empties the document recycle bin. 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 empty-recycle-bin: 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.
empty-recycle-bin 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 empty-recycle-bin 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 empty-recycle-bin. 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.
empty-recycle-bin is provided by the Mcp Dev MCP server (@umbraco-cms/mcp-dev). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
