AI agents call delete_draft to permanently remove resources in X(Twitter) MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes draft posts from the user's X/Twitter account. While the blast radius is limited (only affects unpublished drafts, not live content), the action cannot be undone. Destructive category applies because deletion is irreversible, even though the severity is medium rather than high since drafts are typically less critical than published content.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_draft' and description states 'Delete a draft tweet or thread' — the word 'Delete' explicitly indicates irreversible removal of data.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_draft gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and X(Twitter) MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_draft:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_draft"
]
}delete_draft disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
