WHAT IT DOES

What abort_delayed_request does on Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server

AI agents call abort_delayed_request to permanently remove resources in Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why abort_delayed_request needs a policy

Although the tool does not delete data itself, it irreversibly terminates a queued query job, preventing its execution and requiring manual resubmission. This is an irreversible state change that destroys a pending operation. The high severity reflects that an AI agent misusing this could disrupt critical workloads by canceling important queries without authorization or intent, causing significant operational impact.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it will "CANCEL and permanently abort a delayed query" and explicitly notes "This cannot be undone - the query will need to be resubmitted if needed." The use of "permanently abort" and "cannot be undone" clearly indicates irreversible…

POLICY

How to control abort_delayed_request

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Teradata Workload Management (WLM) MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for abort_delayed_request:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "abort_delayed_request"
  ]
}

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