AI agents may call devbox_projects to permanently remove or destroy resources in Devbox. 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 devbox_projects in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Devbox. 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.

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

How do I block devbox_projects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for devbox_projects. 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 devbox_projects? +

devbox_projects is provided by the Devbox MCP server (devbox-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
