What sint__remove_server does on SINT Protocol

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

Critical Risk

Why sint__remove_server needs a policy

This operation permanently disables and removes a downstream server integration, causing its tools to become unavailable. While the downstream server may still exist elsewhere, the proxy's configured connection to it is severed in a way that cannot be automatically undone—human intervention or explicit reconfiguration would be required to restore it.

From the tool's definition "Disconnect and remove one downstream MCP server from the running proxy... after removal its aggregated tools disappear from the namespace." The tool irreversibly removes a server and its capabilities from the running system.

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

How to control sint__remove_server

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

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

sint__remove_server 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 SINT Protocol — 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.

Questions about sint__remove_server

What does the sint__remove_server tool do? +

Disconnect and remove one downstream MCP server from the running proxy. Use this to disable an integration cleanly when it is unhealthy, no longer needed, or should stop exposing tools; after removal its aggregated tools disappear from the namespace. Returns a confirmation message after removal, or an error if the server name is unknown. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the SINT Protocol MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on sint__remove_server? +

Register the SINT Protocol MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sint__remove_server: 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 SINT Protocol. Nothing to install.

What risk level is sint__remove_server? +

sint__remove_server 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 sint__remove_server? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sint__remove_server 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 sint__remove_server completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sint__remove_server. 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 sint__remove_server? +

sint__remove_server is provided by the SINT Protocol MCP server (sint-ai/sint-protocol). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every SINT Protocol tool call.

Start from SINT Protocol, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
