WHAT IT DOES

What delete_device does on Logicmonitor

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

RISK

Why delete_device is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call delete_device doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Logicmonitor is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_device safely

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

delete_device Hidden

delete_device 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 Logicmonitor, apply this rule, and every delete_device call is checked against it from then on.
