What team_manager_reset does on Team Manager MCP
AI agents call team_manager_reset to permanently remove resources in Team Manager MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why team_manager_reset is rated Critical
The tool clears/resets run state, which destroys task progress, checkpoints, and shared context managed by MongoDB. While potentially recoverable via backups, the action itself is irreversible at runtime and wipes coordinated team planning data. This fits Destructive (data erasure) more than Execute (which would be triggering a new operation).
From the tool's definition "Reset the room to a clean state and clear this run" — irreversibly removes state data from an active team coordination context.

The rule that runs team_manager_reset safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Team Manager MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For team_manager_reset, this is the rule to start with:
team_manager_reset is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Team Manager MCP, apply this rule, and every team_manager_reset call is checked against it from then on.
