What deactivate_package does on 20i MCP Server
AI agents call deactivate_package to permanently remove resources in 20i MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why deactivate_package is rated Critical
Deactivating a hosting package suspends all associated services (websites, email, databases, etc.) for that package. While technically 'reactivation' may be possible, the immediate effect is a broad service outage with high blast radius — all hosted services go offline. This is more severe than a simple Write operation and aligns with Destructive given the irreversible disruption to live services.
From the tool's definition 'Deactivate a hosting package to suspend services' - suspending services is an irreversible or impactful action that disrupts all services associated with the hosting package

The rule that runs deactivate_package safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 20i MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deactivate_package, this is the rule to start with:
deactivate_package 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 20i MCP Server, apply this rule, and every deactivate_package call is checked against it from then on.
