Delete a file from the Grail Resource Store by path (WRITE, destructive, Resource Store v1).
AI agents call delete_resource_file to permanently remove resources in Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of files is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone. Even though the description acknowledges it as 'WRITE', the destructive nature of file deletion places this in the Destructive category, which takes precedence. The impact depends on what files are targeted (blast radius is high if critical resource files are deleted), but the operation itself is definitionally destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a file' and marks it as 'destructive' and 'WRITE'. The action removes data from the Grail Resource Store irreversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a file from the Grail Resource Store by path (WRITE, destructive, Resource Store v1). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_resource_file: 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 Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_resource_file 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 delete_resource_file 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 delete_resource_file. 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.
delete_resource_file is provided by the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server (mnmozi/dynatrace-mcp-saas). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
