Delete a DHCP option
AI agents call delete_dhcp_option to permanently remove resources in CloudStack MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible delete operation on DHCP configuration, which is a core networking resource. Deleting DHCP options could disrupt network connectivity for virtual machines and services that depend on these configurations. While not directly causing financial loss, the destructive nature and potential for service disruption across infrastructure warrant a 'high' severity classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_dhcp_option' with description 'Delete a DHCP option' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of infrastructure configuration data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a DHCP option. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_dhcp_option: 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 CloudStack MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_dhcp_option 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_dhcp_option 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_dhcp_option. 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_dhcp_option is provided by the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server (mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
