THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why cloud_delete_service needs a policy

This tool permanently removes a ClickHouse Cloud service, which is an irreversible action that cannot be undone. Deletion of cloud infrastructure is destructive in nature. While severity is 'high' rather than 'critical' because it requires preconditions (service must be stopped first, reducing accidental misuse), the action itself is permanently destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'cloud_delete_service' and description states 'Delete a service'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of infrastructure/data.

POLICY

How to control cloud_delete_service

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cloud_delete_service"
  ]
}

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

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