Delete a sitemap from Google Search Console.

How to control delete_sitemap ↓

AI agents call delete_sitemap to permanently remove resources in Google Search Console MCP Intel Engine — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Deleting a sitemap from Google Search Console is an irreversible action that removes configuration data and can degrade search engine visibility and indexing. This cannot be undone through normal tool operations and represents data loss, placing it in the Destructive category with high severity due to potential negative impact on site visibility and SEO performance.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_sitemap' and description states 'Delete a sitemap from Google Search Console.' The verb 'delete' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of data.

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

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Search Console MCP Intel Engine, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_sitemap:

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

delete_sitemap 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 Google Search Console MCP Intel Engine — 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.
