RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs app_uninstall safely

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

app_uninstall Hidden

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

  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "app_uninstall"
  ]
}

RESTRICT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every app_uninstall call is checked against it from then on.
