# disconnect_driver Disconnect from an external MCP driver and shut down its child process. Use this to clean up or to reconnect with different settings. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `disconnect_driver`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/disconnect-driver ## Facts - Tool: `disconnect_driver` - Server: Nodebench (`nodebench-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench.md - Install: `npx -y nodebench-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/HomenShum/nodebench-ai - Risk category: Execute (High risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "disconnect_driver", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why disconnect_driver is rated High This tool actively kills/shuts down a child process and severs a connection. It is an operational action (process termination) that affects running infrastructure. While it could be seen as somewhat reversible (you can reconnect), shutting down a process is an Execute-level action with medium severity since misuse could disrupt active integrations or workflows. From the tool's own definition: "'Disconnect from an external MCP driver and shut down its child process' — terminates a running process" ## Use case AI agents invoke disconnect_driver to trigger actions in Nodebench. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Nodebench: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "disconnect_driver": { "limits": [ { "counter": "disconnect_driver_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 10, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Nodebench (823) - `abandon_cycle` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/abandon-cycle.md - `archiveDocument` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/archivedocument.md - `cleanup_stale_runs` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/cleanup-stale-runs.md - `deeptrace_revoke_passport` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/deeptrace-revoke-passport.md - `delete_learning` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/delete-learning.md - `delete_sandbox_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/delete-sandbox-policy.md - `deleteAgentMemory` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/deleteagentmemory.md - `removeDocumentFromFolder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/removedocumentfromfolder.md - `share_revoke_packet_link` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/share-revoke-packet-link.md - `unload_toolset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/unload-toolset.md - `benchmark_models` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/benchmark-models.md - `bootstrap_parallel_agents` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/bootstrap-parallel-agents.md - `build_banking_packet` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-banking-packet.md - `build_company_profile_starter` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-company-profile-starter.md - `build_founder_operating_model` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-founder-operating-model.md - `build_research_digest` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-research-digest.md - `build_shared_context_subscription` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-shared-context-subscription.md - `build_shared_context_subscription_manifest` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-shared-context-subscription-manifest.md - `build_submission_export` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-submission-export.md - `build_temporal_graph` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/build-temporal-graph.md - `burst_capture` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/burst-capture.md - `call_driver_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/call-driver-tool.md - `call_llm` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/call-llm.md - `call_openclaw_skill` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/call-openclaw-skill.md - `call_webmcp_tool` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/call-webmcp-tool.md - `capture_surface_stats` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/capture-surface-stats.md - `capture_ui_screenshot` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/capture-ui-screenshot.md - `compile_decision_packet` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/compile-decision-packet.md - `compile_scenarios` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/compile-scenarios.md - `compile_tension_model` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench/compile-tension-model.md - …and 793 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
