Reset configuration to default values
AI agents call config-reset to permanently remove resources in MCP Index Notes — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Resetting configuration to defaults irreversibly overwrites any custom configuration settings the user has made. This action cannot be easily undone if the previous configuration was not backed up, making it destructive in nature. The blast radius is high as it affects the entire system configuration which could impact all notes, indexing, search behavior, and knowledge graph relationships.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Reset configuration to default values. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the MCP Index Notes MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the MCP Index Notes MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for config-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 MCP Index Notes. Nothing to install.
config-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 config-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 config-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.
config-reset is provided by the MCP Index Notes MCP server (vjsr007/mcp-index-notes). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
