Revoke a shared context invitation.

How to control revoke_shared_context ↓

AI agents call revoke_shared_context to permanently remove resources in Novyx — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Revoking a shared context invitation permanently cancels that invitation; the recipient loses access and the action cannot be undone without re-issuing a new invitation. This maps to Destructive rather than Write because the removal of access/permissions is not easily reversible in-place.

From the tool's definition 'Revoke a shared context invitation' — revoking an invitation is an irreversible action that removes access/permissions previously granted

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access revoke_shared_context gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Novyx, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for revoke_shared_context:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "revoke_shared_context"
  ]
}

revoke_shared_context disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Novyx — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on revoke_shared_context? +

Register the Novyx MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke_shared_context: 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 Novyx. Nothing to install.

What risk level is revoke_shared_context? +

revoke_shared_context is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit revoke_shared_context? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the revoke_shared_context 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.

How do I block revoke_shared_context completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for revoke_shared_context. 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.

What MCP server provides revoke_shared_context? +

revoke_shared_context is provided by the Novyx MCP server (novyxlabs/novyx-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Novyx tool call.
