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

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

## Why delete_service is rated Critical

The name 'delete_service' clearly indicates irreversible deletion of data. Although the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name combined with the FortiManager context—a critical network management system—indicates this tool permanently removes service configurations that cannot be automatically recovered.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_service' which explicitly indicates a deletion operation. In the context of FortiManager, a service deletion operation removes configuration data irreversibly."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_service 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json

  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_service"
  ]
}
```
