How to control delete_tenant ↓

AI agents call delete_tenant to permanently remove resources in Mcp Oceanbase — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

The tool name 'delete_tenant' clearly indicates deletion of a tenant entity. Tenant deletion is an irreversible operation that cannot be undone and would result in permanent loss of data and infrastructure. This represents the most severe category (Destructive) due to its irreversible nature and high blast radius if invoked erroneously by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_tenant' which indicates irreversible deletion of a tenant resource. Description is empty but the naming is explicit.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_tenant gives an agent:

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

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

delete_tenant 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 Mcp Oceanbase — 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.
