What web3_revoke_key does on 0xarchive
AI agents call web3_revoke_key to permanently remove resources in 0xarchive, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why web3_revoke_key is rated Critical
Revoking an API key is an irreversible action that permanently destroys access credentials. Once revoked, the key cannot be restored, making this a destructive operation. Misuse by an AI agent could lock out legitimate users or services from the platform, with high blast radius if the wrong key is revoked.

The rule that runs web3_revoke_key safely

web3_revoke_key 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 0xarchive, apply this rule, and every web3_revoke_key call is checked against it from then on.
