uninstall
AI agents call uninstall to permanently remove resources in Windows Operations MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Uninstalling software is a destructive action that cannot be easily undone—it removes files, registry entries, and system configurations. While the description is empty, the context of a Windows system management server combined with the unambiguous name 'uninstall' indicates this removes software irreversibly.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'uninstall' on a Windows Operations MCP server that provides PowerShell/CMD execution and system management. Uninstall operations remove software packages irreversibly from the system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
uninstall. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Windows Operations MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Windows Operations MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for uninstall: 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 Windows Operations MCP. Nothing to install.
uninstall 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 uninstall 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 uninstall. 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.
uninstall is provided by the Windows Operations MCP server (sandraschi/windows-operations-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
