Remove a dynamically loaded toolset from the current session to free up context. Cannot unload toolsets from the initial preset.

Part of the Nodebench server.

unload_toolset can permanently delete data in Nodebench, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents may call unload_toolset to permanently remove or destroy resources in Nodebench. 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 unload_toolset in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Nodebench. 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 unload_toolset only ever does what you allow.

What does the unload_toolset tool do? +

Remove a dynamically loaded toolset from the current session to free up context. Cannot unload toolsets from the initial preset.. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Nodebench 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 unload_toolset? +

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

What risk level is unload_toolset? +

unload_toolset 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 unload_toolset? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the unload_toolset 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 unload_toolset completely? +

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

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

Enforce policy on every Nodebench tool call.
