# Revocation

Revocation is the kill switch. The page opens with a scenario: your agent goes rogue at 3am and you need to stop it. Without Civic, you are logging into Google Admin, rotating Slack tokens, deleting GitHub PATs, and still not sure the agent is actually dead 20 minutes later. With Civic, every authorization has its own revoke button. One click, sub-second, the agent loses access immediately even mid-session. No cached tokens can keep it alive because revocation hits the Civic auth layer directly. Revocation is non-destructive: connections are preserved, so you can re-authorize with updated guardrails when you are ready.
