WHAT IT DOES

What delete_startup_script does on Vultr MCP

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

RISK

Why delete_startup_script is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a startup script resource. Once deleted, the script cannot be recovered without external backups. While the blast radius is somewhat contained (limited to a single script resource rather than bulk deletion), the destructive nature and the potential impact if a critical startup script is removed justifies 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly includes 'delete' and description states 'Delete a startup script.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_startup_script safely

delete_startup_script Hidden

delete_startup_script is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
