Terminate a running app by bundle identifier.
AI agents call sim_terminate to permanently remove resources in Claude Pascal MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Terminating a running application is an irreversible action in the moment — it forcibly kills the process, potentially causing data loss (unsaved state, in-progress operations). This cannot be undone once executed, making it Destructive. The blast radius is high because it could kill critical applications mid-operation, causing data corruption or service disruption.
From the tool's definition Terminate a running app by bundle identifier
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sim_terminate gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Pascal MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sim_terminate:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"sim_terminate"
]
}sim_terminate disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Terminate a running app by bundle identifier. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sim_terminate: 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 Claude Pascal MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sim_terminate 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 sim_terminate 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 sim_terminate. 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.
sim_terminate is provided by the Claude Pascal MCP Server MCP server (tina4stack/claude-pascal-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Claude Pascal MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
