THE RISK

Why wipe_all_nodes needs a policy

This tool irreversibly removes or resets configurations and data across all nodes in a lab simultaneously. While the action itself is reversible in the sense that a lab could be reconfigured, the current state and configurations are permanently lost. This fits the Destructive category as it performs an operation that cannot be undone without manual intervention.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wipe_all_nodes' and description 'Wipe all nodes in a lab (reset to factory state)' indicates irreversible data destruction and state reset.

POLICY

How to control wipe_all_nodes

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

policy.json

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

wipe_all_nodes 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 EVE-NG 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.

Questions about wipe_all_nodes

What does the wipe_all_nodes tool do? +

Wipe all nodes in a lab (reset to factory state). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the EVE-NG MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on wipe_all_nodes? +

Register the EVE-NG MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wipe_all_nodes: 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 EVE-NG MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is wipe_all_nodes? +

wipe_all_nodes is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit wipe_all_nodes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the wipe_all_nodes 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.

How do I block wipe_all_nodes completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for wipe_all_nodes. 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.

What MCP server provides wipe_all_nodes? +

wipe_all_nodes is provided by the EVE-NG MCP Server MCP server (moimran/eveng-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every EVE-NG MCP Server tool call.

Start from EVE-NG MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
