What abandon does on Jj

AI agents call abandon to permanently remove resources in Jj — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why abandon needs a policy

Abandoning revisions in a version control system irreversibly discards commits and their changes, rebasing descendants. While jj is designed with some recovery mechanisms, the intent and primary effect is to permanently remove revisions from the working history, making this a Destructive operation with high severity due to potential loss of work.

abandon 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 abandon? +

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

What MCP server provides abandon? +

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