What network_interface_delete does on Nasbridge
AI agents call network_interface_delete to permanently remove resources in Nasbridge, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why network_interface_delete is rated Critical
Deletion of network interfaces is permanent and cannot be undone. This ranks as Destructive (highest applicable category) rather than Execute because the action itself is fundamentally destructive in nature. The severity is critical because removing network interfaces can render a TrueNAS system inaccessible or non-functional, with severe operational consequences if an AI agent misuses this tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description declares 'This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation'. Deleting a network interface removes network connectivity configuration irreversibly.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs network_interface_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 network_interface_delete, this is the rule to start with:
network_interface_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 network_interface_delete call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about network_interface_delete
Delete a network interface. This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation — the. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Nasbridge MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Nasbridge MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for network_interface_delete: 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 Nasbridge. Nothing to install.
network_interface_delete 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 network_interface_delete 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 network_interface_delete. 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.
network_interface_delete is provided by the Nasbridge MCP server (maverick0628/nasbridge). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
