qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server Destructive Risk 5/5

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call account_name to permanently remove or destroy resources in Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON ACCOUNT_NAME

Without a policy, an AI agent could call account_name in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Qiskit IBM Runtime MCP Server. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

qiskit-ibm-runtime-mcp-server.yaml

tools:
  account_name:
    rules:
      - action: deny
        reason: "Blocked by default — enable with approval"
