Revoke an SSL certificate
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.
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
Revoke an SSL certificate. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the CloudStack MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke_certificate: 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 CloudStack MCP Server. Nothing to install.
revoke_certificate 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 revoke_certificate 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 revoke_certificate. 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.
revoke_certificate is provided by the CloudStack MCP Server MCP server (mozg31337/cloudstack-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
