Create, update, delete, or reorder firewall policies.
AI agents call manage_firewall_policy to permanently remove resources in Unifi — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool can delete firewall policies, which is irreversible and could expose the entire network to unauthorized access. Even creating or modifying policies could open security holes. The destructive delete capability and the critical blast radius (network-wide security impact) justify the highest severity classification. Financial > Destructive applies here as the most severe applicable category is Destructive.

manage_firewall_policy is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the manage_firewall_policy rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
