What destroy_router does on CloudStack MCP Server
AI agents call destroy_router 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.
Why destroy_router is rated Critical
Destroying a virtual router is an irreversible operation that eliminates critical network infrastructure. In a CloudStack environment, routers handle essential functions like routing, NAT, DHCP, and other network services. Destruction cannot be undone and could cause significant downtime and data path failure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'destroy_router' explicitly uses the verb 'destroy', which is irreversible deletion of infrastructure. Server description mentions 'safety confirmation system for destructive operations', confirming this tool belongs in the destructive category.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs destroy_router safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CloudStack MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For destroy_router, this is the rule to start with:
destroy_router is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect CloudStack MCP Server, apply this rule, and every destroy_router call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about destroy_router
Destroy a virtual router. 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 destroy_router: 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.
destroy_router 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 destroy_router 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 destroy_router. 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.
destroy_router 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.
