AI agents call cmdb_delete to permanently remove resources in FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool irreversibly deletes configuration data from FortiOS CMDB. Misuse by an AI agent could remove critical firewall rules, security policies, network settings, or other essential configurations, rendering the system non-functional or compromised. This is high-blast-radius destructive action with no undo capability, hence critical severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'cmdb_delete' indicates deletion of configuration management database entries. The 'cmdb_' prefix refers to FortiOS configuration database, and 'delete' is an explicit destructive operation.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for cmdb_delete:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"cmdb_delete"
]
}cmdb_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
