What logout does on eClass MCP Server

AI agents use logout to create or update resources in eClass MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your eClass MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Why logout needs a policy

Logout invalidates/destroys the current session token or cookie, which is a state-modifying write operation. It is reversible in the sense that the user can log back in. It does not delete data, execute code, or have financial implications. Severity is low since the worst misuse is disrupting the agent's own session.

From the tool's definition 'Log out from eClass' — terminates the current authenticated session

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

How to control logout

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "logout": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "logout_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

logout stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register eClass MCP Server — 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.
