WHAT IT DOES

What system_interface_delete does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call system_interface_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 system_interface_delete is rated Critical

Deleting system interfaces is an irreversible action that can completely disconnect a FortiOS firewall from the network, severing all communication and rendering the device operationally unavailable. This is a destructive action with maximum blast radius on a critical infrastructure device. Despite the empty description, the tool name unambiguously indicates a destructive operation on a critical system resource.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'system_interface_delete' explicitly indicates deletion of system network interfaces. The 'delete' verb combined with 'system_interface' (critical infrastructure component) indicates irreversible removal of network configuration.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs system_interface_delete safely

system_interface_delete Hidden

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