Delete an object from your Cosmic bucket.
AI agents call delete_object 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.
Deleting an object from a CMS bucket is an irreversible action that cannot be undone without external recovery mechanisms. This falls squarely into the Destructive category, which ranks higher than Write, Execute, Read categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_object' and description states 'Delete an object from your Cosmic bucket.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete an object 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_object: 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_object 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_object 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_object. 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_object 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.
