How to control onui_clear_page_annotations ↓

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

Critical Risk

This tool irreversibly removes all annotations associated with a page in one operation. Although annotations are typically less critical than source data, the bulk deletion without per-item confirmation and inability to undo makes this Destructive rather than Write. The high severity reflects the potential loss of accumulated UI markup/documentation work for an entire page.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'clear' and description states 'Delete all annotations for a specific page URL' — a bulk irreversible deletion operation.

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

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

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

onui_clear_page_annotations 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 onUI — 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.
