What uxi_delete_group does on Hpe Networking
AI agents call uxi_delete_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.
Why uxi_delete_group is rated Critical
This tool permanently removes a UXI group and its associated configuration, which cannot be recovered. While the blast radius depends on group scope (potentially affecting multiple users/devices if the group is large), the destructive nature of deletion places it in the Destructive category rather than Write. The requirement for 'read-write access' confirms elevated permissions needed for this operation.
From the tool's definition 'Delete a UXI group by ID' — the verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data. The description explicitly states the action cannot be undone.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs uxi_delete_group 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 uxi_delete_group, this is the rule to start with:
uxi_delete_group is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hpe Networking, apply this rule, and every uxi_delete_group call is checked against it from then on.
