What remove_member does on Businys
AI agents call remove_member to permanently remove resources in Businys, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_member is rated Critical
Removing a member from an organization is an irreversible action that terminates that individual's access, permissions, and association with the organization. This cannot be easily undone and represents a destructive operation. While the tool has appropriate safeguards (owner-only, cannot self-remove), the core action is still destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_member' combined with description 'Remove a member from the organization' indicates irreversible deletion of organizational membership.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_member safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Businys, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_member, this is the rule to start with:
remove_member 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 Businys, apply this rule, and every remove_member call is checked against it from then on.
