AI agents call remove_connection to permanently remove resources in LinkedIn Intelligence MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a LinkedIn connection is generally irreversible — once removed, the connection is lost and would require re-sending/accepting a new invitation. The name strongly implies a destructive action. Confidence is reduced due to the empty description, but the name is unambiguous. High severity because an AI agent misusing this tool could silently destroy professional network relationships at scale.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'remove_connection' implies irreversible removal of a LinkedIn connection; description is empty and uninformative.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and LinkedIn Intelligence MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_connection:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"remove_connection"
]
}remove_connection disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
