Switch the server to configuration mode for managing tools and toolsets. In this mode, you can access: list-available-tools (browse all discovered tools), build-toolset (create custom tool collections), list-saved-toolsets (view saved configurations), equip-toolset (activate a toolset), delete-to...

AI agents may call enter-configuration-mode to permanently remove or destroy resources in Hypertool. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call enter-configuration-mode in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Hypertool. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access enter-configuration-mode gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other destructive tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: deny by default, or require human approval.
Switch the server to configuration mode for managing tools and toolsets. In this mode, you can access: list-available-tools (browse all discovered tools), build-toolset (create custom tool collections), list-saved-toolsets (view saved configurations), equip-toolset (activate a toolset), delete-toolset (remove configurations), get-active-toolset (check current status), and add-tool-annotation (add context to tools). Operational tools will be hidden while in configuration mode. Use this when you need to organize, create, or modify tool configurations.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Hypertool MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Hypertool MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for enter-configuration-mode: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Hypertool. Nothing to install.
enter-configuration-mode is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the enter-configuration-mode rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for enter-configuration-mode. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
enter-configuration-mode is provided by the Hypertool MCP server (toolprint/hypertool-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
