What remove_allowed_command does on Code MCP Server
AI agents call remove_allowed_command to permanently remove resources in Code MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_allowed_command is rated Critical
Removing an allowed command from the project's whitelist is an irreversible configuration change that alters the security posture of the workspace. This falls under Destructive as it deletes a configured entry that controls what commands are permitted to execute, and undoing it requires re-adding the command manually.
From the tool's definition 'Remove a command from the project' — permanently removes an allowed command from the project's security configuration

The rule that runs remove_allowed_command safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Code MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_allowed_command, this is the rule to start with:
remove_allowed_command 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 Code MCP Server, apply this rule, and every remove_allowed_command call is checked against it from then on.
