What superset_group_delete does on MCP Superset

AI agents call superset_group_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.

Critical Risk

Why superset_group_delete needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on user group entities. Deleting a group cannot be undone and impacts access permissions for all users in that group. This exceeds Write (reversible modifications) and qualifies as Destructive. Severity is high because inadvertent group deletion by an AI agent could disable access for multiple users and require administrative recovery.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a user group.' This is an irreversible operation that removes access control and organizational data.

How to control superset_group_delete

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_group_delete:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "superset_group_delete"
  ]
}

superset_group_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP Superset — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
