Remove a library follow or channel subscription. Rate-limited: 30/hour.
AI agents call fw_unfollow to permanently remove resources in Crow — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a follow or subscription is an irreversible action (the subscription/follow relationship is deleted). While it can technically be re-followed, the act of removing/deleting the subscription record is destructive in nature. Medium severity because the blast radius is limited to social/subscription state rather than critical data.
From the tool's definition Remove a library follow or channel subscription
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access fw_unfollow gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fw_unfollow:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"fw_unfollow"
]
} fw_unfollow disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Remove a library follow or channel subscription. Rate-limited: 30/hour. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Crow MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Crow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fw_unfollow: 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 Crow. Nothing to install.
fw_unfollow 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 fw_unfollow 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 fw_unfollow. 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.
fw_unfollow is provided by the Crow MCP server (kh0pper/crow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Crow, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
