## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "remove_nic_from_virtual_machine",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why remove_nic_from_virtual_machine is rated Critical

Removing a NIC from a virtual machine is a destructive operation: it eliminates network connectivity for that interface and cannot be trivially undone (the NIC configuration, IP assignments, and associations are lost). Misuse by an AI agent could cause network outages or isolate a production VM, representing a high blast radius.

From the tool's own definition: "'Remove a NIC from a virtual machine' — removing a network interface card is an irreversible infrastructure change that disconnects the VM from a network segment"

## Use case

AI agents call remove_nic_from_virtual_machine to permanently remove resources in CloudStack MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches CloudStack MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "remove_nic_from_virtual_machine"
  ]
}
```
