What remove_item does on Ha Nexus Agent
AI agents call remove_item to permanently remove resources in Ha Nexus Agent, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_item is rated Critical
This tool permanently deletes user data (a todo item). While the impact is scoped to individual items rather than bulk data or critical infrastructure, any deletion operation that cannot be automatically reversed falls into the Destructive category per the classification rules. The severity is 'high' rather than 'critical' because impact is limited to a single non-critical user list item, but it remains destructive.
From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states 'Remove a todo item from a list by its `uid`'. The verb 'remove' combined with deletion of user data (todo items) indicates an irreversible operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_item safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ha Nexus Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_item, this is the rule to start with:
remove_item is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ha Nexus Agent, apply this rule, and every remove_item call is checked against it from then on.
