Delete a saved WiFi profile

How to control wifi_delete_profile ↓

AI agents call wifi_delete_profile to permanently remove resources in Mcp Windows — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

The tool performs an irreversible deletion of WiFi profile data. While not catastrophic in absolute terms (the profile can be re-created by the user), it fits the Destructive category as it permanently removes configured data without undo capability.

From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'delete' and description states 'Delete a saved WiFi profile' — this irreversibly removes stored network configuration data that cannot be automatically restored.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access wifi_delete_profile gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Windows, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for wifi_delete_profile:

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

wifi_delete_profile 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 Mcp Windows — 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.
