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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_vsf_template",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why delete_vsf_template is rated Critical

The 'delete' prefix is a strong indicator of a destructive operation. VSF templates are configuration blueprints for network switches; deleting them would irreversibly remove these configurations and potentially impact network operations. While the description is empty (lowering confidence slightly), the tool name alone is sufficiently explicit.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_vsf_template' which explicitly uses the verb 'delete', indicating irreversible removal of a VSF (Virtual Switching Framework) template resource."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_vsf_template 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_vsf_template"
  ]
}
```
