WHAT IT DOES

What delete_sandbox does on Sanka MCP Server

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

RISK

Why delete_sandbox is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes an entire workspace and all its contents. Although scoped to a sandbox (lower blast radius than production), it cannot be undone and destroys potentially significant data. The requirement for confirm=true mitigates risk somewhat but does not change the fundamental destructive nature.

From the tool's definition Tool description states: "PERMANENTLY delete the sandbox workspace and everything in it." The word 'delete' combined with 'PERMANENTLY' and 'everything in it' clearly indicates irreversible data destruction.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_sandbox safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sanka MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_sandbox, this is the rule to start with:

delete_sandbox Hidden

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