Delete milestone (enhanced)
AI agents call delete_milestone to permanently remove resources in TestRail MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on test management artifacts (milestones). Deletion cannot be undone without manual restoration or backups. The blast radius includes loss of milestone metadata, associated test tracking structures, and potential disruption to project timelines and planning. While not financial in nature, the destructive nature of permanent data removal makes this high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_milestone' with description 'Delete milestone (enhanced)' indicates irreversible deletion of milestone data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete milestone (enhanced). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the TestRail MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the TestRail MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_milestone: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches TestRail MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_milestone is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_milestone rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_milestone. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
