Revoke range access from a user. Args: target_user_id: User ID to revoke access from user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Revoke result

How to control revoke_range_access ↓

AI agents call revoke_range_access 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

Revoking access removes a user's permissions/access to a cyber range environment. This is an irreversible access control action — once revoked, the user loses access and any ongoing work or sessions may be terminated. The action cannot be passively undone without an explicit re-grant, making it destructive in nature. High severity because it could lock out legitimate users from active security research environments.

Risk signalsAdmin/system-level operation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access revoke_range_access 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 revoke_range_access:

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

revoke_range_access 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.

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 revoke_range_access? +

Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for revoke_range_access: 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 revoke_range_access? +

revoke_range_access 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 revoke_range_access? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the revoke_range_access 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 revoke_range_access completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for revoke_range_access. 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 revoke_range_access? +

revoke_range_access 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.
