WHAT IT DOES

What ips_sensor_delete does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call ips_sensor_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.

RISK

Why ips_sensor_delete is rated Critical

IPS sensor deletion is an irreversible operation that removes security infrastructure configurations. In a FortiOS firewall context, deleting sensors disables intrusion prevention capabilities and cannot be undone without manual reconfiguration. The 'delete' action combined with 'sensor' (a named security policy object) places this firmly in the Destructive category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ips_sensor_delete' explicitly indicates deletion of IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) sensor configurations, which are security policies that cannot be trivially recreated.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ips_sensor_delete safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ips_sensor_delete, this is the rule to start with:

ips_sensor_delete Hidden

ips_sensor_delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
