Delete a CLI template group.
AI agents call delete_cli_template_group to permanently remove resources in FortiManager MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion of a CLI template group, which is a core network configuration artifact managed by FortiManager. Deletion of template groups cannot be undone and will affect all devices or policies that reference this group. This is a destructive operation with significant blast radius if executed erroneously by an AI agent, justifying the Destructive category and high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete'; description states 'Delete a CLI template group' - irreversible removal of configuration data.
