The rule that runs delete_ipsec_phase1_interface 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_ipsec_phase1_interface, this is the rule to start with:
delete_ipsec_phase1_interface is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
