## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ips_sensor_delete",
    "arguments": {}

## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server:

```json
