Critical Risk

Why delete_logical_database needs a policy

Deletion of a database is a destructive operation that cannot be undone. It causes permanent loss of data and system state. Even if backups exist, the operation itself is irreversible without external recovery mechanisms. This warrants the Destructive category and high severity due to potential data loss impact, though not critical since it affects a single logical database rather than infrastructure-wide resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains "delete" and description states "Delete a logical database" — this irreversibly removes data.

How to control delete_logical_database

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

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

delete_logical_database 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 Vultr MCP — 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.
