Delete/deprovision an instance.
AI agents call delete_instance to permanently remove resources in Morpheus 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 a cloud instance and its associated resources, which cannot be undone. In a multi-tenant HPE Morpheus environment, accidental or malicious deletion of instances could cause significant business disruption, data loss, and service outages. The destructive nature and potential blast radius across multiple tenants warrant critical severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_instance' combined with description 'Delete/deprovision an instance' directly indicates irreversible deletion of cloud infrastructure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete/deprovision an instance. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Morpheus MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Morpheus MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_instance: 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 Morpheus MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_instance 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_instance 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_instance. 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_instance is provided by the Morpheus MCP Server MCP server (nixndme/morpheus-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
