Cancel all currently running PPDM jobs, optionally filtered by asset type.
AI agents call bulk_cancel_jobs to permanently remove resources in Ppdm — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling running backup jobs is an irreversible action — once a backup job is cancelled, the in-progress backup data is lost and the job cannot be resumed. This could disrupt data protection operations across potentially all assets, representing a high blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Cancel all currently running PPDM jobs, optionally filtered by asset type. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ppdm MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Ppdm MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bulk_cancel_jobs: 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 Ppdm. Nothing to install.
bulk_cancel_jobs 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 bulk_cancel_jobs 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 bulk_cancel_jobs. 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.
bulk_cancel_jobs is provided by the Ppdm MCP server (moodswing9/ppdm-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
