What selection_none does on Mcp Anything
AI agents call selection_none 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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs selection_none 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 selection_none, this is the rule to start with:
selection_none 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 selection_none call is checked against it from then on.
