DELETE /api/v2/system/restapi/access_list/entry
AI agents call pfsense_delete_system_restapi_access_list_entry 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.
This tool permanently deletes access control list entries that govern REST API permissions on a firewall. Unauthorized deletion of such entries could grant unintended API access to attackers or disrupt legitimate API authentication, compromising firewall security. The action is irreversible and has blast radius across firewall administration, making it critical severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description specifies 'DELETE /api/v2/system/restapi/access_list/entry' — this irreversibly removes REST API access control entries from a pfSense firewall.
