Critical Risk

Why deletePost needs a policy

Deletion of posts is a permanent, irreversible action that cannot be undone through normal means. Once deleted, the post and associated engagement (replies, likes, retweets) are lost. This fits the Destructive category, which covers actions that irreversibly delete or overwrite data.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'deletePost' and description states 'Delete a post by ID' — the verb 'delete' is explicitly destructive and irreversible.

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

How to control deletePost

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

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

deletePost 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 X Com MCP Server — 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.
