AI agents may call revoke_api_key to permanently remove or destroy resources in AI Cortex Storage. 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 revoke_api_key in a loop, permanently destroying resources in AI Cortex Storage. 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 revoke_api_key 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.
Revoke an API key by ID. The key stops working immediately.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the AI Cortex Storage MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the AI Cortex Storage MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke_api_key: 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 AI Cortex Storage. Nothing to install.
revoke_api_key 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 revoke_api_key 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 revoke_api_key. 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.
revoke_api_key is provided by the AI Cortex Storage MCP server (https://memory.aic0rt3x.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
