## Facts

- Tool: `system_power`
- Server: AirMCP (`airmcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/heznpc-airmcp.md
- Install: `npx -y airmcp`
- Homepage: https://github.com/heznpc/AirMCP
- Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Hidden

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "system_power",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why system_power is rated Critical

Shutting down or restarting a Mac is an irreversible, high-blast-radius action: it terminates all running processes, closes all open files, and can cause data loss. This maps squarely to the Destructive category. Misuse by an AI agent could halt an entire workstation, interrupt critical services, or cause unsaved data loss, warranting a critical severity rating.

From the tool's own definition: "'Shutdown or restart the Mac. Use with caution.' — shutting down a machine is irreversible in the moment and terminates all running processes; restarting also forcibly interrupts all work."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents call system_power to permanently remove resources in AirMCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches AirMCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "system_power"
  ]
}
```
