Wipe a specific node (reset to factory state).
AI agents call wipe_node to permanently remove resources in EVE-NG MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Resetting a node to factory state destroys all existing configuration, saved state, and data on that node. This cannot be undone without reconfiguration, making it a Destructive operation. The blast radius is high because it could disrupt running network topologies and cause loss of complex configurations that may have taken significant effort to set up.
From the tool's definition 'Wipe a specific node (reset to factory state)' — wiping and resetting to factory state is an irreversible destructive operation that permanently erases node configuration and state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access wipe_node gives an agent:
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_node:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"wipe_node"
]
}wipe_node disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Wipe a specific node (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.
Register the EVE-NG MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for wipe_node: 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.
wipe_node 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 wipe_node 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 wipe_node. 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.
wipe_node 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.
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.
