Why unassign_license is rated Medium
This tool modifies license state by removing an assignment and reverting a display to free-tier status. The action is reversible (the license can be reassigned, the display can be relicensed), making it Write rather than Destructive. While it affects system configuration, the blast radius is bounded to license management without financial loss or data deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Removes a premium license from a display' and 'the license returns to the account's available pool', indicating reversible modification of license assignments and display configurations.

The rule that runs unassign_license safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and agentView, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unassign_license, this is the rule to start with:
unassign_license stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect agentView, apply this rule, and every unassign_license call is checked against it from then on.
