DELETE /api/v2/services/cron/job
AI agents call pfsense_delete_services_cron_job to permanently remove resources in Pfsense — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of system cron jobs is an irreversible operation that removes scheduled tasks from the firewall. While not as critical as deleting firewall rules or network configurations, this could disrupt important maintenance or monitoring tasks. The Destructive category applies due to the use of DELETE semantics and the permanent nature of job removal.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description shows DELETE HTTP method on /api/v2/services/cron/job endpoint. Cron jobs are persistent system tasks that cannot be easily recovered once deleted.
