## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why edgeconnect_delete_service_group is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes network service group configurations. Deletion operations are irreversible and represent the most severe category. While write guards may mitigate some risks, the destructive nature of removing network ACL configurations—which could impact network security policies and traffic filtering—justifies the 'Destructive' category over 'Write'.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an EdgeConnect ACL service group by name'; deletion of network service groups is irreversible and cannot be undone."

## Use case

AI agents call edgeconnect_delete_service_group 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hpe Networking:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "edgeconnect_delete_service_group"
  ]
}
```
