WHAT IT DOES

What shell_remove_allowed_command does on LocalAnt

AI agents call shell_remove_allowed_command to permanently remove resources in LocalAnt, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why shell_remove_allowed_command is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly removes entries from a security allowlist that controls which shell commands are permitted. Removing an allowlist entry is a destructive, security-relevant action — it could either re-restrict previously permitted operations or (depending on the system's default-allow/deny posture) open up previously blocked commands.
