What revoke_certificate does on CloudStack MCP Server
AI agents call revoke_certificate to permanently remove resources in CloudStack MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why revoke_certificate is rated Critical
Certificate revocation is a destructive operation because it permanently invalidates an SSL/TLS certificate, preventing its further use for authentication and encryption. Once revoked, the certificate cannot be restored to active status—a replacement must be issued.
From the tool's definition Tool name: 'revoke_certificate' with description 'Revoke an SSL certificate'. Revoking a certificate is an irreversible operation that invalidates the certificate and cannot be undone without reissuing a new one.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs revoke_certificate safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and CloudStack MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For revoke_certificate, this is the rule to start with:
revoke_certificate 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 CloudStack MCP Server, apply this rule, and every revoke_certificate call is checked against it from then on.
