Critical Risk

Why delete_post needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes blog post data from Velog. Deletion cannot be undone, meeting the definition of Destructive category. The severity is high because an AI agent misusing this tool could permanently erase user content, though the blast radius is limited to individual posts rather than account-wide or system-wide destruction (which would be critical).

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_post' and description states 'Delete a post on Velog'. Delete operations are irreversible and result in permanent data loss.

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

How to control delete_post

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

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

delete_post 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 Velog — 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.
