AI agents call revoke-access-token to permanently remove resources in Tableau MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Revoking an access token is an irreversible action — once revoked, the token cannot be reinstated. This invalidates the current session and disrupts all subsequent API calls, representing a destructive, non-undoable operation. The blast radius is high because misuse by an AI agent could lock out legitimate users or break ongoing workflows across the entire Tableau MCP session.
From the tool's definition Revokes the access token used to authenticate the current session. After revocation the session is invalidated. Subsequent Tableau API calls within this session may fail.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Revokes the access token used to authenticate the current session. After revocation the session is invalidated. Subsequent Tableau API calls within this session may fail. Clients should disconnect from the MCP server after calling this tool. This tool requires no input — it operates on the token already associated with the current session and never exposes the raw token value. When to use: - Signing a user out of the MCP session - Revoking access after detecting suspicious activity - Clean session teardown from an MCP client or orchestration layer. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Tableau MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Tableau MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke-access-token: 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 Tableau MCP Server. Nothing to install.
revoke-access-token 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 revoke-access-token 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 revoke-access-token. 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.
revoke-access-token is provided by the Tableau MCP Server MCP server (tableau/tableau-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
