Force claim an issue that is locked by another session
AI agents call force_claim to permanently remove resources in MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
An AI agent that decides to call force_claim doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server is gone — there is no undo for destructive operations.

Force claim an issue that is locked by another session. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for force_claim: 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 MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server. Nothing to install.
force_claim 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 force_claim 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 force_claim. 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.
force_claim is provided by the MCP GitHub Issue Priority Server MCP server (steiner385/mcp-git-issue-priority). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
