WHAT IT DOES

What delete_authz_policy does on Hpe Networking

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

RISK

Why delete_authz_policy is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly deletes authorization policy configurations. Deletion of authz policies cannot be undone and directly impacts network security posture by removing access control rules. This is a destructive operation with potentially significant blast radius if an AI agent misuses the ID parameter, inadvertently removing critical security policies that protect the network infrastructure.

From the tool's definition The tool name explicitly contains 'delete' and the description states 'Delete a CNAC authz policy by ID.' CNAC (Clearpass Network Access Control) authorization policies are security-critical configurations that control network access permissions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_authz_policy safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hpe Networking, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_authz_policy, this is the rule to start with:

delete_authz_policy Hidden

delete_authz_policy is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
