AI agents may call force to permanently remove or destroy resources in GitHub. 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 force in a loop, permanently destroying resources in GitHub. 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 force gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the force tool do? +

Force removal even if worktree is dirty or locked (optional, default: false) (boolean, optional). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the GitHub MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on force? +

Register the GitHub MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for force: 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 GitHub. Nothing to install.

What risk level is force? +

force is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit force? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the force 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.

How do I block force completely? +

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

force is provided by the GitHub MCP server (oci:ghcr.io/aifity/omnigit-mcp:0.5.0). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every GitHub tool call.
