AI agents call firewall_policy_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.
Deleting firewall policies is a destructive operation that cannot be undone and permanently removes security rules that protect the network. This is critical severity because misconfigured deletion could disable security controls, expose the network, or cause denial of service. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the name itself provides sufficient evidence.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'firewall_policy_delete' which indicates deletion of firewall policies. The description is empty, but the name unambiguously indicates an irreversible deletion operation on security infrastructure.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access firewall_policy_delete gives an agent:
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 firewall_policy_delete:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"firewall_policy_delete"
]
}firewall_policy_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
