Delete an access group

How to control delete_access_group ↓

AI agents call delete_access_group to permanently remove resources in Vercel MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

The tool performs an irreversible destructive action by deleting an access group, which cannot be undone and may remove permissions and access controls for multiple users or services. This is a permanent modification to infrastructure/permissions that could impact team operations if executed incorrectly by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an access group'. This is an irreversible deletion operation that removes access control configuration.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_access_group gives an agent:

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

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

delete_access_group 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 Vercel 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.
