Critical Risk

Why delete_central_snat_policy needs a policy

Deleting a SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) policy is destructive because it removes network security configuration that cannot be automatically recovered without restoration procedures. The impact affects network traffic routing and security posture. While not as critical as deleting all policies, this represents a significant irreversible change to infrastructure configuration.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete_central_snat_policy' and description confirms 'Delete a central SNAT policy' — this is an irreversible deletion operation on network policy configuration.

How to control delete_central_snat_policy

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_central_snat_policy:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_central_snat_policy"
  ]
}

delete_central_snat_policy disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
