Pop value(s) from right of list.
AI agents call list_pop_right to permanently remove resources in AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Popping values from a list is a destructive, irreversible removal operation — the removed elements are consumed/deleted from the list. This is not a simple read (it mutates state) and not merely a write (the data is removed, not just modified).

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Pop value(s) from right of list. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_pop_right: 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 AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_pop_right 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 list_pop_right 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 list_pop_right. 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.
list_pop_right is provided by the AWS IoT SiteWise MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-iot-sitewise-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
