Elimina el enlace conectado a una interfaz específica de un dispositivo en PT.
AI agents call pt_delete_link to permanently remove resources in Packet Tracer MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes network connectivity links in a Packet Tracer simulation. While the blast radius is confined to a simulated environment (not production), the action cannot be undone and requires reconfiguration to restore. Deletion operations that cannot be reversed belong in the Destructive category.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pt_delete_link' and description 'Elimina el enlace conectado a una interfaz específica de un dispositivo en PT' (translates to 'Deletes the link connected to a specific interface of a device in PT').
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access pt_delete_link gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Packet Tracer MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pt_delete_link:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"pt_delete_link"
]
}pt_delete_link disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Elimina el enlace conectado a una interfaz específica de un dispositivo en PT. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Packet Tracer MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Packet Tracer MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pt_delete_link: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Packet Tracer MCP. Nothing to install.
pt_delete_link is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pt_delete_link rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pt_delete_link. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
pt_delete_link is provided by the Packet Tracer MCP server (mats2208/mcp-packet-tracer). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Packet Tracer MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
