WHAT IT DOES

What network_proxy does on Claude Mobile

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

RISK

Why network_proxy is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call network_proxy doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Claude Mobile is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs network_proxy 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 network_proxy, this is the rule to start with:

network_proxy Hidden

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