Delete a scheduled task on OPanel.
AI agents call delete_scheduled_task to permanently remove resources in OPanel MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deleting a scheduled task is an irreversible action that removes server automation and cannot be easily undone. While not as critical as deleting player data or server saves, it permanently removes configured tasks and their scheduling logic. The high severity reflects that an agent could disable important server maintenance or backup tasks, causing operational disruption.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a scheduled task'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data/configurations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a scheduled task on OPanel. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the OPanel MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the OPanel MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_scheduled_task: 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 OPanel MCP. Nothing to install.
delete_scheduled_task 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_scheduled_task 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_scheduled_task. 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_scheduled_task is provided by the OPanel MCP server (opanel-mc/opanel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
