WHAT IT DOES

What delete_template_group does on Fortimanager

RISK

Why delete_template_group is rated Critical

This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on a template group in FortiManager. Deletion of network configuration templates could impact multiple devices and policies relying on those templates, making it a destructive action that cannot be undone. The blast radius is significant in a networked security appliance context, justifying 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_template_group' and description 'Delete a template group' — the verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.
