Critical Risk

Why delete_static_route_template needs a policy

The tool permanently removes a static route template from FortiManager. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone and affects network routing configuration. While not as critical as deleting live firewall rules affecting all devices, deletion of templates has high blast radius because templates are reused across multiple managed devices. Misuse could disrupt network routing across managed infrastructure.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a static route template' — this is an irreversible removal of network configuration data.

How to control delete_static_route_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_static_route_template:

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

delete_static_route_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.
