Why delete_secret needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on secrets. Secrets typically contain sensitive credentials, API keys, or authentication tokens. Deletion cannot be undone and represents a destructive action with potentially high blast radius if misused by an AI agent, as it could render systems inoperable or compromise recovery workflows. Classified as Destructive (more severe than Write) due to irreversibility.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'delete_secret'. Description: 'Delete a secret'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

POLICY

How to control delete_secret

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

policy.json

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

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