THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why discard_good_job needs a policy

Discarding a job is irreversible — once marked as discarded, the job will not be retried or re-queued. This permanently halts execution of background work, which could have cascading effects on dependent processes or workflows. The tool's own description confirms the action is permanent ('will not be retried'), placing it in the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Discard a GoodJob background job. Marks the job as discarded so it will not be retried.

POLICY

How to control discard_good_job

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "discard_good_job"
  ]
}

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