AI agents may call remove_item to permanently remove or destroy resources in Weneed. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call remove_item in a loop, permanently destroying resources in Weneed. There is no undo for destructive operations. PolicyLayer blocks this tool by default and only allows it when a human explicitly approves the action.

Destructive tools permanently remove data. Block by default. Only enable with explicit approval workflows.

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so remove_item only ever does what you allow.

What does the remove_item tool do? +

Remove (deactivate) an item from a shopping list. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Weneed MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on remove_item? +

Register the Weneed MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for remove_item: 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 Weneed. Nothing to install.

What risk level is remove_item? +

remove_item is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit remove_item? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_item 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.

How do I block remove_item completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for remove_item. 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.

What MCP server provides remove_item? +

remove_item is provided by the Weneed MCP server (weneed-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Weneed tool call.
