What script_remove does on Mcp Anything
AI agents call script_remove to permanently remove resources in Mcp Anything, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why script_remove is rated Critical
The tool deletes a script, which is data loss that cannot be reversed. While the blast radius depends on which script is targeted, any irreversible deletion operation falls into the Destructive category, ranked above Execute and Write. The high severity reflects that removing a project script could break the project's functionality or cause loss of work.
From the tool's definition 'Remove a script from the project' indicates irreversible deletion of a script artifact. The verb 'remove' combined with the context of project asset management signals a destructive operation that cannot be undone.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs script_remove safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Anything, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For script_remove, this is the rule to start with:
script_remove is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every script_remove call is checked against it from then on.
