WHAT IT DOES

What delete_object_metadata does on Fortimanager

AI agents call delete_object_metadata 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_object_metadata is rated Critical

The 'delete' operation is classified as Destructive because it removes data irreversibly. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the explicit 'delete' in the name combined with the context of a FortiManager administration tool suggests this deletes configuration or metadata objects that cannot be easily restored.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_object_metadata' contains the verb 'delete', which indicates irreversible removal of data. No description provided to confirm scope or reversibility.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_object_metadata 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_object_metadata, this is the rule to start with:

delete_object_metadata Hidden

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