Abort any active deployment and then remove the range. This is a convenience function that combines abort_range_deployment() and delete_range().

How to control abort_and_remove_range ↓

AI agents call abort_and_remove_range to permanently remove resources in Ludus FastMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool performs irreversible deletion of cyber range environments. While the confirmation flag and optional user_id restrictions provide some safeguards, the core function destroys infrastructure that cannot be trivially recovered. The high blast radius comes from the potential to delete active deployments and their associated data in a production cyber range environment.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Abort any active deployment and then remove the range' and is 'Equivalent to running: 1. ludus range abort 2. ludus rm (with confirmation)'.

Risk signalsAdmin/system-level operation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access abort_and_remove_range gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for abort_and_remove_range:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "abort_and_remove_range"
  ]
}

abort_and_remove_range disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Ludus FastMCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the abort_and_remove_range tool do? +

Abort any active deployment and then remove the range. This is a convenience function that combines abort_range_deployment() and delete_range(). Equivalent to running: 1. ludus range abort 2. ludus rm (with confirmation) Args: confirm: Confirmation flag (must be True to proceed) user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Combined abort and deletion results Example: # Abort and remove current user's range result = await abort_and_remove_range(confirm=True). It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Ludus FastMCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on abort_and_remove_range? +

Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for abort_and_remove_range: 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 Ludus FastMCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is abort_and_remove_range? +

abort_and_remove_range is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit abort_and_remove_range? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the abort_and_remove_range 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.

How do I block abort_and_remove_range completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for abort_and_remove_range. 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.

What MCP server provides abort_and_remove_range? +

abort_and_remove_range is provided by the Ludus Fast MCP server (tjnull/ludus-fastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ludus FastMCP tool call.
