Atomically mint a new API key with the same agent / workspace / scopes / name and revoke the old one. Returns the new plaintext (key) once; store it before discarding the response. Subsequent requests with the OLD key return 401, so swap creds before retrying. Agents may rotate ONLY their own key...

AI agents may call rotate_api_key to permanently remove or destroy resources in Dock. 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 rotate_api_key in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Dock. 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 rotate_api_key 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.
Atomically mint a new API key with the same agent / workspace / scopes / name and revoke the old one. Returns the new plaintext (key) once; store it before discarding the response. Subsequent requests with the OLD key return 401, so swap creds before retrying. Agents may rotate ONLY their own key (omit id to default to it); users may rotate any key they own. Use this for routine credential hygiene or after a suspected leak.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Dock MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Dock MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rotate_api_key: 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 Dock. Nothing to install.
rotate_api_key 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 rotate_api_key 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 rotate_api_key. 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.
rotate_api_key is provided by the Dock MCP server (https://trydock.ai/api/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
