Delete a cloud agent. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.
AI agents call delete_agent to permanently remove resources in Cursor Cloud Agent — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call delete_agent doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Cursor Cloud Agent is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a cloud agent. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Cursor Cloud Agent MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Cursor Cloud Agent MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_agent: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Cursor Cloud Agent. Nothing to install.
delete_agent is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_agent rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_agent. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_agent is provided by the Cursor Cloud Agent MCP server (willpowell8/cursor-cloud-agent-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
