Why delete_device_blueprint needs a policy

Deletion operations are inherently destructive and cannot be undone. Removing a device blueprint from FortiManager is a permanent action that eliminates configuration templates and could disrupt device management workflows. The blast radius is high because accidental or malicious deletion of critical blueprints could affect multiple devices and require manual recovery or reconfiguration.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_device_blueprint' with description 'Delete a device blueprint.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

How to control delete_device_blueprint

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_device_blueprint:

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

delete_device_blueprint 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.
