WHAT IT DOES

What delete_media does on Elementify MCP

AI agents call delete_media 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.

RISK

Why delete_media is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call delete_media doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Elementify MCP is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_media 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 delete_media, this is the rule to start with:

delete_media Hidden

delete_media is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
