WHAT IT DOES

What delete_ips_sensor does on Fortimanager

AI agents call delete_ips_sensor 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_ips_sensor is rated Critical

The delete prefix unambiguously indicates irreversible data deletion. IPS sensors are security infrastructure components; deleting one removes protection rules and cannot be easily undone. While the description is empty (reducing confidence slightly), the name alone provides sufficient evidence. This is Destructive rather than Write because deletion is non-reversible and impacts critical security infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_ips_sensor' which uses 'delete' verb, indicating irreversible removal of an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) sensor configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_ips_sensor safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_ips_sensor, this is the rule to start with:

delete_ips_sensor Hidden

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