remove_from_array
AI agents call remove_from_array to permanently remove resources in Ast Editor — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool name 'remove_from_array' strongly implies deletion of elements from an array in source code. Given the context of an AST-targeted code editor where sibling tools perform irreversible deletions (delete_in_body, delete_key), this tool likely removes array elements from code in a way that cannot be trivially undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_from_array' on a code editing server with sibling tools like 'delete_in_body' and 'delete_key' that perform irreversible structural edits to source code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access

Register the Ast Editor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_from_array: 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 Ast Editor. Nothing to install.
remove_from_array 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 remove_from_array 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 remove_from_array. 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.
