raft-node-remove
AI agents call raft-node-remove to permanently remove resources in Vault MCP Server (mschuchard) — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a Raft node from a Vault cluster is an irreversible operation that directly impacts system availability and data replication. The tool operates on critical infrastructure (cluster consensus members) and cannot be undone without manual recovery procedures. While the description is empty, the operation semantics ('remove' applied to 'raft-node' in a Vault admin context) clearly indicate destructive capability.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'raft-node-remove' on a Vault MCP server for managing Vault cluster infrastructure. The 'remove' operation on raft nodes is irreversible and can permanently alter the consensus state of a Vault cluster.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
raft-node-remove. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Vault MCP Server (mschuchard) MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Vault MCP Server (mschuchard) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for raft-node-remove: 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 Vault MCP Server (mschuchard). Nothing to install.
raft-node-remove 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 raft-node-remove 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 raft-node-remove. 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.
raft-node-remove is provided by the Vault MCP Server (mschuchard) MCP server (mschuchard/vault-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
