AI agents call clear_auth to permanently remove resources in Trakt — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Clearing an authentication token is an irreversible action that terminates the current session and removes stored credentials. The user would need to re-authenticate to regain access. This cannot be undone automatically and constitutes a destructive action on the auth state, though its blast radius is limited to session disruption rather than data loss.
From the tool's definition Clear the authentication token and log out of Trakt
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear_auth gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trakt, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clear_auth:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"clear_auth"
]
}clear_auth disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Clear the authentication token and log out of Trakt. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Trakt MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Trakt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_auth: 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 Trakt. Nothing to install.
clear_auth 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 clear_auth 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 clear_auth. 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.
clear_auth is provided by the Trakt MCP server (wwiens/trakt_mcpserver). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
