THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete_random_table needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes game data (a random table used for RPG state management). While the blast radius is limited to a single game artifact rather than critical system data, the deletion cannot be undone. Classified as Destructive rather than Write because deletion is inherently irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete_random_table' and description confirms 'Delete a random table'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_random_table gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control delete_random_table

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_random_table:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_random_table"
  ]
}

delete_random_table disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register DMCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on delete_random_table? +

Register the D MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_random_table: 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 DMCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is delete_random_table? +

How do I block delete_random_table completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_random_table. 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.

What MCP server provides delete_random_table? +

Enforce policy on every DMCP tool call.

Start from DMCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
