WHAT IT DOES

What persist_remove does on Claude C2

AI agents call persist_remove to permanently remove resources in Claude C2, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why persist_remove is rated Critical

This tool destroys persistence mechanisms (backdoors, scheduled tasks, registry entries, startup scripts, etc.) that cannot be easily recovered once deleted. The auto-selection feature increases risk as an AI agent could invoke this against unintended systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'persist_remove' indicates removal/deletion of persistence mechanisms. Description states 'Remove persistence' with auto-selection capability, meaning it irreversibly deletes established persistence without requiring manual target selection.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs persist_remove safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude C2, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For persist_remove, this is the rule to start with:

persist_remove Hidden

persist_remove is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
