Cancel multiple packages in one request

How to control ebay_bulk_cancel_packages ↓

AI agents call ebay_bulk_cancel_packages to permanently remove resources in Ebay — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Canceling packages is an irreversible action that destroys fulfillment records and potentially voids customer orders. While the impact is scoped to logistics data rather than permanent deletion of inventory, the inability to undo the cancellation and the business consequence (unfulfilled commitments) places this in Destructive rather than Write. The bulk nature amplifies risk.

From the tool's definition 'Cancel multiple packages in one request' - this operation terminates shipments/orders which cannot be reversed and results in loss of fulfillment state and customer commitments.

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

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

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

ebay_bulk_cancel_packages 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 Ebay — 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.
