Remove one of the authenticated user's apps. This deletes the runtime workload and revokes its active routing while marking the app as removed in PlugLayer.
AI agents call remove_app to permanently remove resources in PlugLayer MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly removes an application's runtime workload and active routing. While it may not physically delete all data immediately, it destroys the running service and its accessibility, which are permanent operational changes that cannot be automatically reversed. This is characteristic of destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'deletes the runtime workload' and 'marking the app as removed' - these are irreversible operations that cannot be undone.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove one of the authenticated user's apps. This deletes the runtime workload and revokes its active routing while marking the app as removed in PlugLayer. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the PlugLayer MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the PlugLayer MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_app: 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 PlugLayer MCP Server. Nothing to install.
remove_app 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_app 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_app. 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_app is provided by the PlugLayer MCP Server MCP server (pluglayer/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
