WHAT IT DOES

What firewall_policy_delete does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

RISK

Why firewall_policy_delete is rated Critical

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.
