THE RISK

Why delete_user needs a policy

This tool performs an irreversible action that cannot be undone—deleting a user account. Even if the deletion is asynchronous ('initiates the process'), the intended outcome is permanent removal of user data. This is the most severe category applicable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_user' combined with description 'Initiates the deletion process for the currently authenticated User' explicitly indicates irreversible deletion of user account data.

POLICY

How to control delete_user

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_user:

policy.json

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

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