Why remove_tester_from_group needs a policy

Removing a tester from a beta group is a destructive action that revokes their access and membership. While it doesn't delete the tester account itself, the removal of the association is not easily reversible through this tool and constitutes an irreversible state change to group membership. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to beta testing access rather than production data or financial impact.

From the tool's definition 'Remove a tester from a beta group' — the word 'remove' indicates an irreversible deletion of the tester's association with the group

POLICY

How to control remove_tester_from_group

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and App Store Connect, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_tester_from_group:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_tester_from_group"
  ]
}

remove_tester_from_group disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register App Store Connect — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
