revoke_api_key
Permanently revoke a company-scoped API key by ID. The response contains non-secret metadata only. Call list_api_keys first and compare the ID, name, prefix, and isCurrent flag because revoking a key cannot be undone and may invalidate the active credential.

What revoke_api_key does on Sequenzy Mcp
AI agents call revoke_api_key to permanently remove resources in Sequenzy Mcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why revoke_api_key is rated Critical
This tool permanently and irreversibly destroys access credentials. Once revoked, the key cannot be recovered or un-revoked, making it a classic destructive action. The critical severity reflects that revoking the wrong key could immediately break authentication for integrations relying on that credential, with no undo available.
From the tool's definition 'Permanently revoke' and 'revoking a key cannot be undone' — this irreversibly invalidates an API key credential and cannot be reversed.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs revoke_api_key safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sequenzy Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For revoke_api_key, this is the rule to start with:
revoke_api_key is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sequenzy Mcp, apply this rule, and every revoke_api_key call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about revoke_api_key
Permanently revoke a company-scoped API key by ID. The response contains non-secret metadata only. Call list_api_keys first and compare the ID, name, prefix, and isCurrent flag because revoking a key cannot be undone and may invalidate the active credential. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Sequenzy Mcp MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Sequenzy MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke_api_key: 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 Sequenzy Mcp. Nothing to install.
revoke_api_key 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 revoke_api_key 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 revoke_api_key. 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.
revoke_api_key is provided by the Sequenzy MCP server (Sequenzy/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
