Remove a map theme by name.
AI agents call remove_map_theme to permanently remove resources in QGIS MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a map theme deletes a saved configuration that cannot be recovered without manually recreating it. This is an irreversible destructive action, though its blast radius is limited to a named map theme within a GIS project.
From the tool's definition "Remove a map theme by name" — removal is an irreversible deletion of the named map theme configuration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a map theme by name. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the QGIS MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the QGIS MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_map_theme: 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 QGIS MCP. Nothing to install.
remove_map_theme 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 remove_map_theme 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 remove_map_theme. 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.
remove_map_theme is provided by the QGIS MCP server (nkarasiak/qgis-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
