Remove a component. Clears component_id from associated controls.
AI agents call remove_component to permanently remove resources in Mipiti MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible delete operation that removes a component and strips its references from associated controls. While the scope is limited to a component entity in a threat modeling system (not critical infrastructure), the destructive nature of permanently deleting entities and their relationships, without apparent undo capability, warrants the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'remove_component'. Description: 'Remove a component. Clears component_id from associated controls.' The verb 'remove' combined with clearing associated data indicates irreversible deletion of component records and their relationships.

Remove a component. Clears component_id from associated controls. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Mipiti MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Mipiti MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_component: 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 Mipiti MCP Server. Nothing to install.
remove_component 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 remove_component 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 remove_component. 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.
remove_component is provided by the Mipiti MCP Server MCP server (mipiti/mipiti-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
