Critical Risk

Why tool_kill_process needs a policy

The name 'tool_kill_process' strongly implies terminating a running process, which is an irreversible action — a killed process cannot be un-killed. This is destructive in nature. Context from sibling tools (run terminal commands, automate file handling) confirms this is a system-level operations server capable of serious damage if misused. Empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name is unambiguous.

How to control tool_kill_process

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "tool_kill_process"
  ]
}

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

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