Permanently remove Yaver from this owned host machine: unregister the device, remove auto-start service, wipe ~/.yaver, then shut the agent down. Requires confirm=true and phrase='delete my machine'.
AI agents call machine_remove to permanently remove resources in Yaver — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
phrase | string | Yes | Must equal 'delete my machine' |
confirm | boolean | Yes | Must be true to confirm permanent machine removal |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
An AI agent that decides to call machine_remove doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Yaver is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

machine_remove is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the machine_remove 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for machine_remove. 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.
machine_remove is provided by the Yaver MCP server (yaver-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
