Why delete-security-role needs a policy

Deleting a security role is an irreversible action that removes access permissions for potentially many users. This has a critical blast radius in a PowerPlatform/Dataverse environment: users assigned to that role lose access to resources, business processes may break, and recovery requires manual restoration or backups. The Destructive category is most severe applicable here, superseding Write or Execute.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-security-role' and description explicitly states 'Delete a security role. Destructive — requires confirm: true to proceed.' The word 'Delete' and label 'Destructive' directly indicate irreversible removal of access control configuration.

POLICY

How to control delete-security-role

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PowerPlatform MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete-security-role:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-security-role"
  ]
}

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

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