Reset all implementers to
AI agents call implementer_reset to permanently remove resources in Lockstep — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Reset operations that affect 'all implementers' in a collaborative development system are destructive because they cannot be easily undone and would eliminate current state without backup or rollback capability. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) because implementer resets typically cannot be undone without manual recovery.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'implementer_reset' combined with action verb 'Reset all implementers' indicates irreversible state modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Reset all implementers to. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Lockstep MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Lockstep MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for implementer_reset: 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 Lockstep. Nothing to install.
implementer_reset 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 implementer_reset 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 implementer_reset. 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.
implementer_reset is provided by the Lockstep MCP server (tmmoore286/lockstep-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
