What delete_ipsec_template does on Fortimanager
AI agents call delete_ipsec_template 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.
Why delete_ipsec_template is rated Critical
The tool permanently deletes an IPsec template, which cannot be undone. This is a destructive operation that could remove critical network security configurations, affecting active tunnels and causing network outages if the template is in use. The high severity reflects potential impact on network infrastructure, though the blast radius is somewhat limited to IPsec configurations rather than broader system access.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an IPsec tunnel template' — this irreversibly removes a network configuration template.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_ipsec_template 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_template, this is the rule to start with:
delete_ipsec_template is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every delete_ipsec_template call is checked against it from then on.
