Why delete_website needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes a website, which cannot be undone and represents a destructive action with significant blast radius (loss of web presence, data, and configuration). While not Financial, it is more severe than Execute or Write actions. Destructive category is appropriate.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_website' and description states 'Delete a website with the given domain name.' The verb 'delete' combined with the scope (entire website/domain) indicates irreversible removal of data and configuration.

How to control delete_website

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

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

delete_website 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 PythonAnywhere MCP Server — 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.
