Delete a file or folder from Stage

How to control stage_delete ↓

AI agents call stage_delete 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 irreversibly deletes files or folders from SingleStore Stage storage. Deletion cannot be undone, making it a Destructive operation. The blast radius is high because unintended deletion of production data, notebooks, or job artifacts could cause significant data loss. Confidence is high because the function is explicit and unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'stage_delete' with description 'Delete a file or folder from Stage'. The verb 'Delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

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

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

stage_delete 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.
