How to control products_archive ↓

AI agents call products_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

Archiving a product moves it out of active records. While HubSpot's recycling bin may allow recovery, this is a destructive action that removes data from normal access and workflows. An AI agent misusing this tool could archive critical product records, disrupting sales processes and CRM data integrity across deals and associations.

From the tool's definition 'Move an Object identified by ID to the recycling bin' — archiving in HubSpot moves the product to a recycling bin, effectively removing it from active use.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access products_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 products_archive:

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

products_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.
