Delete an item from Microsoft Fabric workspace

How to control delete-fabric-item ↓

AI agents call delete-fabric-item to permanently remove resources in Fabric-Analytics-MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes items from a Microsoft Fabric workspace with no apparent undo mechanism. Deletion is irreversible and cannot be recovered through normal means. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously delete critical workspace items, datasets, notebooks, or other artifacts that teams depend on.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete-fabric-item' and description states 'Delete an item from Microsoft Fabric workspace'. The word 'delete' is a destructive operation that irreversibly removes data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete-fabric-item gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fabric-Analytics-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete-fabric-item:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-fabric-item"
  ]
}

delete-fabric-item 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 Fabric-Analytics-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.
