WHAT IT DOES

What delete_overlay_ssid does on API-Central

AI agents call delete_overlay_ssid to permanently remove resources in API-Central, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_overlay_ssid is rated Critical

The 'delete' prefix strongly indicates this tool permanently removes network configuration. SSIDs are critical network resources—their deletion cannot be undone and impacts all connected clients. Empty description slightly reduces confidence, but the action verb is unambiguous.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_overlay_ssid' contains the verb 'delete', indicating irreversible removal of an SSID (network resource). Description is empty, limiting specificity.
