The tool permanently deletes a certificate by ID, which is an irreversible action. Certificates are critical infrastructure components for TLS/SSL operations, authentication, and system security. Deleting a certificate cannot be undone and will cause immediate service disruption for any services relying on that certificate.

The rule that runs certificate_delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nasbridge, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For certificate_delete, this is the rule to start with:
certificate_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nasbridge, apply this rule, and every certificate_delete call is checked against it from then on.
