WHAT IT DOES

What remove_workspace_member does on Portkey Admin

AI agents call remove_workspace_member to permanently remove resources in Portkey Admin, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_workspace_member is rated Critical

This tool revokes access rights and removes a user from a workspace, which is an irreversible action affecting a user's permissions and workspace membership. While not deleting the user entirely from the organization, it permanently terminates their access to workspace resources. This fits Destructive (irreversible removal of access/data association) rather than Write (reversible modification).

From the tool's definition 'Remove a user from a workspace and revoke workspace access' — this irreversibly removes a user's access to a workspace resource.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs remove_workspace_member safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Portkey Admin, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_workspace_member, this is the rule to start with:

remove_workspace_member Hidden

remove_workspace_member is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
