Delete a backtest from a project.
AI agents call delete_backtest to permanently remove resources in QuantConnect MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes backtest results and associated data from a QuantConnect project. Deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone. In the context of algorithmic trading, backtests represent computational results, analysis history, and potentially valuable research artifacts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_backtest' and description 'Delete a backtest from a project' directly indicate irreversible deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a backtest from a project. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the QuantConnect MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the QuantConnect MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_backtest: 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 QuantConnect MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_backtest 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_backtest 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_backtest. 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_backtest is provided by the QuantConnect MCP Server MCP server (mymanish9-code11/quantconnect-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
