Delete snapshot policies
AI agents call delete_snapshot_policies 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 permanently deletes snapshot policies, which cannot be undone. Snapshot policies are critical infrastructure configurations that govern backup and disaster recovery procedures. Unauthorized or accidental deletion could disable backup protections for virtual machines and storage, leading to data loss if infrastructure fails.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_snapshot_policies' and description states 'Delete snapshot policies'. The verb 'delete' directly indicates irreversible removal of data.

Delete snapshot policies. 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_snapshot_policies: 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_snapshot_policies 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_snapshot_policies 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.
