Why delete_alerter needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a Komodo alerter object. Once deleted, the alerter configuration cannot be recovered without manual restoration or backups. This is destructive in nature and could impact monitoring and alert systems if misused by an AI agent, warranting a high severity classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_alerter' and description 'Elimina un alerter de Komodo' (Spanish: 'Deletes an alerter from Komodo') indicate irreversible deletion of infrastructure monitoring configuration.

How to control delete_alerter

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Komodo MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_alerter:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_alerter"
  ]
}

delete_alerter disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Komodo MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
