Delete a dashboard by ID. Charts and datasets are NOT deleted — only the dashboard itself.
AI agents call superset_dashboard_delete to permanently remove resources in MCP Superset — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes a dashboard resource. Although the underlying charts and datasets are preserved, the dashboard itself (including its configuration, layout, and metadata) is permanently deleted and cannot be undone. This matches the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete a dashboard by ID'. The operation is irreversible — once deleted, the dashboard configuration and layout cannot be recovered.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access superset_dashboard_delete gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP Superset, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for superset_dashboard_delete:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"superset_dashboard_delete"
]
}superset_dashboard_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Delete a dashboard by ID. Charts and datasets are NOT deleted — only the dashboard itself. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MCP Superset MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MCP Superset MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for superset_dashboard_delete: 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 Superset. Nothing to install.
superset_dashboard_delete 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 superset_dashboard_delete 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 superset_dashboard_delete. 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.
superset_dashboard_delete is provided by the MCP Superset MCP server (mcp-superset). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Superset, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
