# network_interface_delete

Delete a network interface. This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation — the

Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `network_interface_delete`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/spranab-truenas-mcp/network-interface-delete

## Facts

- Tool: `network_interface_delete`
- Server: Truenas (`spranab/truenas-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/spranab-truenas-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/spranab/truenas-mcp
- Risk category: Destructive (Critical risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no
- Parameters: 0
- Recommended policy verdict: Hidden

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

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

## Why network_interface_delete is rated Critical

Deletion of network interfaces is permanent and cannot be undone. This ranks as Destructive (highest applicable category) rather than Execute because the action itself is fundamentally destructive in nature. The severity is critical because removing network interfaces can render a TrueNAS system inaccessible or non-functional, with severe operational consequences if an AI agent misuses this tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name explicitly states 'delete' and description declares 'This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation'. Deleting a network interface removes network connectivity configuration irreversibly."

## Use case

AI agents call network_interface_delete to permanently remove resources in Truenas, 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 Truenas:

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