What cleanup_drafts does on Elementify MCP
AI agents call cleanup_drafts to permanently remove resources in Elementify MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why cleanup_drafts is rated Critical
Cleaning up draft data is an irreversible destructive operation. Once draft templates are purged to free storage, they cannot be recovered. The phrase 'free up storage' confirms data is being permanently removed rather than archived or modified. High severity because multiple draft templates could be deleted in bulk without granular control, and the operation is not easily undoable.
From the tool's definition "Clean up old draft data" - cleaning up drafts implies permanent deletion/removal of draft records to free storage
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cleanup_drafts safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Elementify MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cleanup_drafts, this is the rule to start with:
cleanup_drafts is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Elementify MCP, apply this rule, and every cleanup_drafts call is checked against it from then on.
