Resets the simulator
AI agents call reset_simulator_location to permanently remove resources in Sl Test — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
A reset operation generally destroys current state (location data, simulator configuration) and returns the device to a default state, which is not easily reversible without reconfiguration. The description is sparse, lowering confidence slightly, but 'reset' strongly implies an irreversible state change rather than a simple read or write.
From the tool's definition 'Resets the simulator' — a reset operation typically restores state to defaults, discarding current configuration irreversibly
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Resets the simulator. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Sl Test MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Sl Test MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reset_simulator_location: 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 Sl Test. Nothing to install.
reset_simulator_location 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 reset_simulator_location 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 reset_simulator_location. 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.
reset_simulator_location is provided by the Sl Test MCP server (sampsonky/xcodebuildmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
