Delete an asset ruleset by ID. Use with caution - this action cannot be undone.
AI agents call delete_asset_ruleset to permanently remove resources in OpenRemote MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes data (asset rulesets) and cannot be undone, which places it in the Destructive category. The severity is high because deletion of rulesets could disrupt automated operations, asset monitoring, or control flows in an industrial/IoT system, though the blast radius is narrower than critical (limited to a single ruleset unless chained with other operations).
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete an asset ruleset by ID' and warns 'this action cannot be undone.' The delete operation is irreversible and removes configuration that may be critical to automated asset management.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete an asset ruleset by ID. Use with caution - this action cannot be undone. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_asset_ruleset: 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 OpenRemote MCP Server. Nothing to install.
delete_asset_ruleset 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 delete_asset_ruleset 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 delete_asset_ruleset. 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.
delete_asset_ruleset is provided by the OpenRemote MCP Server MCP server (openremote/service-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
