Remove users from an external squad

How to control external_squads_remove_users ↓

AI agents use external_squads_remove_users to create or update resources in Remnawave — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Remnawave environment.

Medium Risk

Removing users from a squad modifies group membership/access control. While it changes state, squad membership can typically be re-added, making it reversible (Write rather than Destructive). However, the blast radius is high since removing users from squads could revoke VPN access for multiple users simultaneously.

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "external_squads_remove_users": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "external_squads_remove_users_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

external_squads_remove_users stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Remnawave — 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.
