Why members_delete needs a policy

Deletion of members/users from a CMS is an irreversible action that cannot be undone without restoration from backups. This represents a destructive operation with potentially significant blast radius if misused by an AI agent (bulk member removals, data loss). Despite empty description, the name and context provide high confidence this is a destructive tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'members_delete' combined with server description indicating management of 'users' via Ghost CMS. The 'delete' operation is irreversible.

How to control members_delete

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ghost MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for members_delete:

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

members_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 Ghost MCP Server — 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.
