What deregister_agent does on Tenzro Ledger MCP
AI agents call deregister_agent to permanently remove resources in Tenzro Ledger MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why deregister_agent is rated Critical
Deregistering an agent removes it from the active network registry, which is an irreversible or hard-to-reverse action that suspends the agent's ability to operate on the network. This falls under Destructive as it permanently removes/suspends a registered entity. The blast radius is high since misuse could disrupt agent operations across the network.

The rule that runs deregister_agent safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Tenzro Ledger MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For deregister_agent, this is the rule to start with:
deregister_agent 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 Tenzro Ledger MCP, apply this rule, and every deregister_agent call is checked against it from then on.
