Why sandbox_ports_revoke is rated Critical
Revoking port access on a sandbox is a destructive, non-reversible operation — once revoked, the port configuration or permission is removed. 'Revoke' consistently implies permanent removal across the sibling tools on this server (e.g., account_sessions_revoke). The blast radius is high because revoking sandbox ports could break running services or deployments.
From the tool's definition 'revoke' in the tool name and description; 'revoke' implies irreversible removal of sandbox port access
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs sandbox_ports_revoke safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Appaloft, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sandbox_ports_revoke, this is the rule to start with:
sandbox_ports_revoke 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 Appaloft, apply this rule, and every sandbox_ports_revoke call is checked against it from then on.
