Delete an existing job

How to control delete_job ↓

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

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes a job, which cannot be undone. Deletion is irreversible and constitutes a destructive action. In the context of a data/workflow platform like SingleStore, deleting a job could result in loss of compute resources, workflow history, or in-progress operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'delete_job'; description: 'Delete an existing job'. The verb 'delete' combined with 'an existing job' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of data/resources.

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

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

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

delete_job 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 SingleStore MCP Server — 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.

delete_job is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit delete_job? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_job rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block delete_job completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_job. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides delete_job? +

delete_job is provided by the SingleStore MCP Server MCP server (singlestore-labs/mcp-server-singlestore). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
