Delete all messages from an Anypoint MQ queue. This is irreversible. Call mq_list_queues first to confirm the queueId and message count.
AI agents call mq_purge_queue to permanently remove resources in Anypoint MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently and irreversibly deletes all messages from a message queue. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone—all data in the queue is lost. The description explicitly states 'This is irreversible,' confirming the destructive nature.

Delete all messages from an Anypoint MQ queue. This is irreversible. Call mq_list_queues first to confirm the queueId and message count. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Anypoint MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Anypoint MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for mq_purge_queue: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Anypoint MCP Server. Nothing to install.
mq_purge_queue is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the mq_purge_queue 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for mq_purge_queue. 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.
mq_purge_queue is provided by the Anypoint MCP Server MCP server (sravannerella/mulesoft-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
