What purge_cdn_zone does on Vultr MCP
AI agents call purge_cdn_zone 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.
Why purge_cdn_zone is rated Critical
The 'purge' operation removes cached content from a CDN zone, which is an irreversible action that cannot be undone. While not data deletion per se, it destroys the cached state and forces regeneration, making it destructive in nature. The broad scope ('all cached content') and potential service impact (cache miss spike, performance degradation) justify 'high' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'purge_cdn_zone' and description 'Purge all cached content from a CDN zone' explicitly indicate irreversible removal of cached data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs purge_cdn_zone safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vultr MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For purge_cdn_zone, this is the rule to start with:
purge_cdn_zone is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Vultr MCP, apply this rule, and every purge_cdn_zone call is checked against it from then on.
