WHAT IT DOES

What delete_device_group does on Fortimanager

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

RISK

Why delete_device_group is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a device group from FortiManager, which is an irreversible destructive action. Device groups typically contain multiple managed devices and their configurations. Unauthorized deletion could cause significant network management disruption and loss of organizational structure.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description confirms 'Delete a device group' - irreversible removal of a network device group configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_device_group safely

delete_device_group Hidden

delete_device_group is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
