Archive (delete) multiple notes in a single request

How to control notes_batch_archive ↓

AI agents call notes_batch_archive 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)') on multiple notes at once in batch. Archiving in HubSpot is equivalent to deletion and is not easily reversible, making this a Destructive operation. The batch nature increases the blast radius significantly, as a single misuse could delete many records at once.

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

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access notes_batch_archive 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 notes_batch_archive:

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

notes_batch_archive 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.
