WHAT IT DOES

What disable_ad_account does on Response MCP Server

AI agents call disable_ad_account to permanently remove resources in Response MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why disable_ad_account needs a policy

Disabling an AD account prevents the user from authenticating anywhere in the domain. This is a high-impact, potentially irreversible action (without a corresponding re-enable action visible in the toolset) that locks out access to all systems. It constitutes a destructive action against an identity resource with broad blast radius if misused on a legitimate account.

From the tool's definition Disable an Active Directory user account... The account will be unable to authenticate.

POLICY

How to control disable_ad_account

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

policy.json

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

disable_ad_account 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 Response MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
