DESTROY: Tear down previously deployed infrastructure Destroys infrastructure by calling the Oracle destroy endpoint for a session that has a prior successful deployment. IMPORTANT: This starts a long-running job. Use tfstatus/tflogs to monitor progress. SINGLE-FLIGHT: only one TF job per session...

tfdestroy can permanently delete data in InsideOut (Riley), with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents may call tfdestroy to permanently remove or destroy resources in InsideOut (Riley). 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 tfdestroy in a loop, permanently destroying resources in InsideOut (Riley). 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 tfdestroy gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so tfdestroy only ever does what you allow.

What does the tfdestroy tool do? +

DESTROY: Tear down previously deployed infrastructure Destroys infrastructure by calling the Oracle destroy endpoint for a session that has a prior successful deployment. IMPORTANT: This starts a long-running job. Use tfstatus/tflogs to monitor progress. SINGLE-FLIGHT: only one TF job per session at a time. If another job is already in flight, tfdestroy returns tf_job_conflict with the live job_id — attach with tfstatus/tflogs, or pass force_new=true to override. REQUIRES: session_id from convoopen response (format: sess_v2_...). OPTIONAL: force_new (boolean, default false) - bypass the single-flight guard. Use only when the existing run is provably wedged. PREREQUISITE: The session must have a prior successful deployment with a project_id. After destroy completes, the session is kept for historical record but hasDeployment is set to false.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the InsideOut (Riley) MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on tfdestroy? +

Register the InsideOut (Riley) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for tfdestroy: 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 InsideOut (Riley). Nothing to install.

What risk level is tfdestroy? +

tfdestroy is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit tfdestroy? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the tfdestroy 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.

How do I block tfdestroy completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for tfdestroy. 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.

What MCP server provides tfdestroy? +

tfdestroy is provided by the InsideOut (Riley) MCP server (oci:docker.io/luthersystems/insideout-mcp:v0.36.3). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every InsideOut (Riley) tool call.
