WHAT IT DOES

What protect_alarm_delete_rule does on UniFi Access MCP

RISK

Why protect_alarm_delete_rule is rated Critical

The 'delete_rule' operation irreversibly removes alarm protection rules from the system. Even without a description, the 'delete' verb combined with a physical security context (UniFi Access alarm management) indicates a destructive action that cannot be undone. While the empty description lowers confidence slightly, the semantic meaning of 'delete' in a security system is unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' which indicates irreversible removal of data. The 'protect_alarm' prefix suggests this manages security alarm rules.
