Remove an owner-scoped OAuth client by owner and slug. Existing connections are not cascaded.

How to control oauth.clients.remove ↓

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

Critical Risk

This tool permanently deletes an OAuth client configuration. OAuth clients are critical authentication artifacts—removing one irreversibly revokes access tokens and credentials. While the description notes that existing connections are not cascaded (a partial mitigation), the core operation is destructive deletion. An AI agent misusing this could disable legitimate OAuth integrations or authentication flows.

From the tool's definition 'Remove' an OAuth client by owner and slug; the operation 'cannot be undone' once deleted, even though 'Existing connections are not cascaded'. This is an irreversible deletion of authentication credentials.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access oauth.clients.remove gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "oauth.clients.remove"
  ]
}

oauth.clients.remove 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 Executor — 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 oauth.clients.remove? +

Register the Executor MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oauth.clients.remove: 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 Executor. Nothing to install.

What risk level is oauth.clients.remove? +

oauth.clients.remove 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 oauth.clients.remove? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oauth.clients.remove 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 oauth.clients.remove completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oauth.clients.remove. 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 oauth.clients.remove? +

oauth.clients.remove is provided by the Executor MCP server (rhyssullivan/executor). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Executor tool call.
