WHAT IT DOES

What delete_vdom does on Fortimanager

AI agents call delete_vdom 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_vdom is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a VDOM from a FortiManager-managed device. VDOMs are logical partitions containing network configurations, policies, and firewall rules. Deleting one cannot be undone without a full restore, and causes loss of all contained configurations and operational state. This is a core destructive operation with high blast radius in a network security context.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_vdom' and description states 'Delete a VDOM from a device.' The verb 'delete' combined with the action of removing a VDOM (virtual domain) is irreversible and destructive.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_vdom 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_vdom, this is the rule to start with:

delete_vdom Hidden

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