Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs drop_database safely

drop_database 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 drop_database call is checked against it from then on.
