Remove a component by ID

How to control remove_component ↓

AI agents call remove_component to permanently remove resources in ResoniteLink MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

An AI agent that decides to call remove_component doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from ResoniteLink MCP is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access remove_component gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_component"
  ]
}

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

  1. Create a free account and register ResoniteLink MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on remove_component? +

Register the ResoniteLink MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_component: 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 ResoniteLink MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is remove_component? +

remove_component is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit remove_component? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_component 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.

How do I block remove_component completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remove_component. 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.

What MCP server provides remove_component? +

remove_component is provided by the ResoniteLink MCP server (rassi0429/resolink-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ResoniteLink MCP tool call.
