Critical Risk

Why delete_sdwan_template needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on SD-WAN template configurations. This is destructive in nature as deletion of infrastructure templates cannot be undone and could impact network operations if applied to active templates. Severity is high due to potential blast radius affecting multiple devices or network segments that depend on the deleted template, though not financial in impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an SD-WAN template', indicating irreversible removal of configuration data.

How to control delete_sdwan_template

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_sdwan_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_sdwan_template"
  ]
}

delete_sdwan_template disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
