AI agents may call guard_delete_agent to permanently remove or destroy resources in Clevername. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call guard_delete_agent in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Clevername. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.
Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access guard_delete_agent gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other destructive tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: deny by default, or require human approval.
Permanently deactivate an agent and revoke all its tokens. Audit history is retained. In-flight calls are rejected immediately after deletion. IRREVERSIBLE -- deactivated agents cannot be re-activated. To temporarily pause instead: use guard_update_agent to set a minimal budget_usd. Requires confirm: true to prevent accidental deletion.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Clevername MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Clevername MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for guard_delete_agent: 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 Clevername. Nothing to install.
guard_delete_agent 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 guard_delete_agent 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 guard_delete_agent. 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.
guard_delete_agent is provided by the Clevername MCP server (@clevername/clevername-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
