The high severity reflects the irreversible nature and potential impact on business operations and customer relationship data, though the blast radius is somewhat limited to a single list rather than entire contact databases.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'delete_contact_list' with description 'Delete a contact list'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

How to control delete_contact_list

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

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

delete_contact_list 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 Frontapp MCP Server — 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.
