Part of the Sanity MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

@sanity/mcp-server Destructive

WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents may call version_discard_document to permanently remove or destroy resources in Sanity. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON VERSION_DISCARD_DOCUMENT

Without a policy, an AI agent could call version_discard_document in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Sanity. There is no undo for destructive operations. Intercept blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

sanity.yaml 
tools:
  version_discard_document:
    rules:
      - action: deny
        reason: "Blocked by default — enable with approval"
