Revoke an RBAC role from an AAP user.
AI agents call aap_revoke_role to permanently remove resources in AAP MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Revoking an RBAC role permanently removes a user's access permissions within the Ansible Automation Platform. This is a destructive operation because it irreversibly removes an entitlement — restoring it requires knowing what was revoked and manually re-assigning it. Misuse could lock users or service accounts out of critical automation resources, causing significant operational impact.
From the tool's definition 'Revoke an RBAC role from an AAP user' — revoking a role removes access permissions, which is not easily reversible without knowing the prior state and is an irreversible removal of access control assignment.

aap_revoke_role 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 aap_revoke_role 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.
