crm_archive_association

THE RISK

Critical Risk

The tool explicitly deletes/archives an association between CRM objects. 'Archive' in HubSpot's API context means deletion/removal of the relationship link. This is irreversible destruction of relational data between CRM records (companies, contacts, deals, etc.), which could break important business relationships and data integrity across the CRM system.

From the tool's definition Archive (delete) an association between two objects

HOW TO CONTROL CRM_ARCHIVE_ASSOCIATION

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

policy.json

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

crm_archive_association 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 HubSpot MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
