Remove a policy from an API Manager API instance. Call api_manager_list_apis first to obtain apiId and policyId.
AI agents call api_manager_remove_policy to permanently remove resources in Anypoint MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Removing a policy is an irreversible deletion action — it detaches and deletes a policy configuration from an API instance. This cannot be undone without re-applying the policy, and misuse could expose APIs to security vulnerabilities by removing authentication, rate limiting, or other protective policies. This qualifies as Destructive with high severity due to the potential security blast radius.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Remove a policy from an API Manager API instance. Call api_manager_list_apis first to obtain apiId and policyId. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Anypoint MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Anypoint MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for api_manager_remove_policy: 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 Anypoint MCP Server. Nothing to install.
api_manager_remove_policy 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 api_manager_remove_policy 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 api_manager_remove_policy. 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.
api_manager_remove_policy is provided by the Anypoint MCP Server MCP server (sravannerella/mulesoft-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
