Delete lineage metadata for a given tensor descriptor.
AI agents call delete_lineage_metadata to permanently remove resources in Tensorus MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on lineage metadata. Lineage metadata is critical for understanding data provenance, traceability, and the relationships between tensors in a database. Once deleted, this metadata cannot be recovered without backups. While it does not delete the tensor itself, it removes important tracking information that could be needed for auditing, compliance, or debugging.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete lineage metadata for a given tensor descriptor.' The action irreversibly removes metadata associated with tensors.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete lineage metadata for a given tensor descriptor. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Tensorus MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Tensorus MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_lineage_metadata: 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 Tensorus MCP. Nothing to install.
delete_lineage_metadata 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 delete_lineage_metadata 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 delete_lineage_metadata. 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.
delete_lineage_metadata is provided by the Tensorus MCP server (tensorus/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
