What revoke_message_token does on TrekMail MCP Server
AI agents call revoke_message_token to permanently remove resources in TrekMail MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why revoke_message_token is rated Critical
This tool permanently and irreversibly revokes API token access. Once revoked, the token becomes unusable and the operation cannot be reversed. This fits the Destructive category (irreversibly deletes or overwrites data/access) rather than Write (which is reversible). The high severity reflects that unauthorized revocation could disrupt legitimate message operations and integrations, causing service degradation.
From the tool's definition "Revoke a message API token. The token will no longer be usable for message operations. This action cannot be undone." - explicitly states the action cannot be undone, indicating irreversible destruction of API token functionality.

The rule that runs revoke_message_token safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and TrekMail MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For revoke_message_token, this is the rule to start with:
revoke_message_token is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect TrekMail MCP Server, apply this rule, and every revoke_message_token call is checked against it from then on.
