Archive (delete) multiple CRM objects in a single request

How to control crm_batch_archive_objects ↓

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

Critical Risk

The tool explicitly performs deletion ('archive/delete') of multiple CRM objects in a batch operation. Archiving in HubSpot is effectively a soft-delete that removes objects from active use, which is irreversible in normal workflows. The batch nature amplifies the blast radius significantly — an AI agent could inadvertently delete large numbers of CRM records (contacts, companies, deals) in a single call.

From the tool's definition Archive (delete) multiple CRM objects in a single request

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

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_batch_archive_objects:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "crm_batch_archive_objects"
  ]
}

crm_batch_archive_objects 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 HubSpot 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.
