Delete a host from Remnawave

How to control hosts_delete ↓

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

Critical Risk

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on infrastructure (a host in a VPN management system). Deletion of hosts cannot be undone and represents a destructive action with significant blast radius—an AI agent invoking this without proper safeguards could remove critical VPN infrastructure. This is more severe than Write (which is reversible) but does not involve financial or code execution concerns.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'hosts_delete' and description states 'Delete a host from Remnawave'. The verb 'delete' combined with the action of removing a host indicates irreversible data destruction.

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

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

hosts_delete 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 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.
