Remove a config override from a tag by key.
AI agents call remove_tag_config_override to permanently remove resources in Defined — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a config override permanently deletes that configuration setting from the tag. This is an irreversible action that could affect all hosts associated with the tag, potentially disrupting network connectivity or security policies across multiple hosts simultaneously, giving it a high blast radius.
From the tool's definition 'Remove a config override from a tag by key' — removal is irreversible deletion of a configuration entry
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a config override from a tag by key. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Defined MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Defined MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_tag_config_override: 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 Defined. Nothing to install.
remove_tag_config_override 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_tag_config_override 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_tag_config_override. 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_tag_config_override is provided by the Defined MCP server (quickvm/defined-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
remove_tag_config_override is one line of Defined's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
