Why delete-deal needs a policy

This tool deletes data (deals in a CRM system), which is irreversible from an operational perspective even if technically recoverable within 30 days. Destructive operations that remove or overwrite data take precedence over Write category. The blast radius is high because an agent could delete important business deals, causing loss of revenue tracking, pipeline visibility, and customer relationship records.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete-deal' and description explicitly states 'Delete a deal' and 'This is a destructive operation.' Even though it is a soft delete with 30-day recovery, the operation irreversibly removes deal data from active access and represents a destructive…

POLICY

How to control delete-deal

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete-deal"
  ]
}

delete-deal disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Pipedrive MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
