ebay_delete_product_compatibility

THE RISK

Critical Risk

The tool permanently removes product compatibility information associated with an inventory item. This is a destructive action that cannot be easily undone and could disrupt a seller's product listings and customer discoverability. While the blast radius is limited to a single item's metadata rather than the entire inventory, deletion operations are inherently destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete product compatibility for an inventory item' — this is an irreversible removal of data.

HOW TO CONTROL EBAY_DELETE_PRODUCT_COMPATIBILITY

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_delete_product_compatibility:

policy.json

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

ebay_delete_product_compatibility 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.
