Reset all stored data (destructive). Requires confirm=true.
AI agents call reset to permanently remove resources in Ensemble — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly wipes all stored data in the ensemble-mcp system, including vector memory, indexed codebase, patterns, and session information. This is an archetypal destructive operation with no undo capability. The blast radius is severe—an AI agent executing this without proper constraints could lose all accumulated intelligence infrastructure state.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Reset all stored data (destructive)'. The name 'reset' combined with 'all stored data' and the destructive qualifier indicates irreversible deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Reset all stored data (destructive). Requires confirm=true. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ensemble MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Ensemble MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reset: 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 Ensemble. Nothing to install.
reset 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 reset 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 reset. 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.
reset is provided by the Ensemble MCP server (lynkbyte/ensemble). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
