ebay_bulk_delete_packages

THE RISK

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes package records from eBay's system without any reversal mechanism implied. Deletion is inherently destructive. The bulk nature increases blast radius—a single API call could erase many packages, potentially disrupting order fulfillment, customer records, and financial reconciliation.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'bulk_delete' and description states 'Delete multiple packages in one request'. The word 'delete' combined with 'bulk' and 'multiple' indicates irreversible removal of data at scale.

HOW TO CONTROL EBAY_BULK_DELETE_PACKAGES

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_delete_packages:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "ebay_bulk_delete_packages"
  ]
}

ebay_bulk_delete_packages disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register Ebay — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
