Delete an overlay (tunneled/GRE) WLAN profile. Must precede underlay SSID deletion.
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.
This tool permanently deletes network WLAN profile configurations. Deletion of WLAN profiles is an irreversible action that cannot be undone through a simple revert or undo operation. While not as critical as deleting all devices or all network data, unauthorized deletion of overlay SSID profiles would disrupt wireless network service for users and require manual reconfiguration to restore.
From the tool's definition delete_overlay_ssid: 'Delete an overlay (tunneled/GRE) WLAN profile.' The verb 'Delete' directly indicates irreversible removal of network configuration. The tool removes WLAN profiles that cannot be easily restored without reconfiguration.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete an overlay (tunneled/GRE) WLAN profile. Must precede underlay SSID deletion. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the API-Central MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the API-Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_overlay_ssid: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches API-Central. Nothing to install.
delete_overlay_ssid 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 delete_overlay_ssid 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_overlay_ssid. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_overlay_ssid is provided by the API-Central MCP server (secure-ssid/centralmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
delete_overlay_ssid is one line of API-Central's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
