What uninstall_app does on Webcake Storefront
AI agents call uninstall_app to permanently remove resources in Webcake Storefront, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why uninstall_app is rated Critical
Uninstalling an application is an irreversible destructive action — it removes the app and likely its associated configuration, data, and integrations from the site. This cannot be trivially undone, making it Destructive with high severity given the potential blast radius of losing a critical app and its data.

The rule that runs uninstall_app safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Webcake Storefront, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For uninstall_app, this is the rule to start with:
uninstall_app 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 Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every uninstall_app call is checked against it from then on.
