AI agents use terminate_user_connections to create or modify resources in Pusher Channels. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call terminate_user_connections repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Pusher Channels.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access terminate_user_connections gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Disconnect all connections for a specific user. Useful for moderation or security — forces a user offline across all channels.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Pusher Channels MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Pusher Channels MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for terminate_user_connections: 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 Pusher Channels. Nothing to install.
terminate_user_connections is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the terminate_user_connections 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 terminate_user_connections. 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.
terminate_user_connections is provided by the Pusher Channels MCP server (@crashbytes/pusher-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
