Delete a media file from your Cosmic bucket.
AI agents call delete_media to permanently remove resources in Cosmic MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on media assets stored in the Cosmic CMS bucket. Once deleted, media files cannot be recovered through normal means. The high severity reflects that an AI agent given unconstrained access could permanently destroy important media assets, marketing materials, or brand content.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_media' combined with description 'Delete a media file from your Cosmic bucket' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a media file from your Cosmic bucket. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Cosmic MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Cosmic MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_media: 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 Cosmic MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_media 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_media 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_media. 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_media is provided by the Cosmic MCP Server MCP server (patgpt/cosmic-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
