## Why unifi_delete_acl_rule is rated Critical

This tool permanently deletes access control list rules that govern network or physical access permissions. Deletion of an ALLOW rule directly impacts who can access resources, and this action cannot be undone without manual reconfiguration. While it requires confirmation, the confirmation does not make the action reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'delete'; description states 'Delete a MAC ACL rule' and warns 'Removing an ALLOW rule' — irreversible removal of access control configuration."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
