Given sibling tools like 'add_user_to_group' exist, this is the inverse destructive counterpart.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_user_from_group' implies removal/deletion of a user-group association, which is typically irreversible without explicit re-addition.

How to control remove_user_from_group

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and AWS Labs postgres MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_user_from_group:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_user_from_group"
  ]
}

remove_user_from_group disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
