Delete a template. Args: template_id: Template ID to delete user_id: Optional user ID (admin only) Returns: Deletion result
AI agents call delete_template to permanently remove resources in Ludus FastMCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes a template from the Ludus cyber range system. Templates are likely foundational artifacts used to configure and deploy scenarios; their deletion is irreversible and could disrupt ongoing security testing, research, or training operations. The optional admin-only user_id parameter suggests access controls exist, but the core operation remains destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_template' and description states 'Delete a template.' The verb 'delete' combined with the operation of removing a template irreversibly indicates a destructive action that cannot be undone.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_template gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Ludus FastMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_template:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_template"
]
}delete_template disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Register the Ludus Fast MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_template: 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 Ludus FastMCP. Nothing to install.
delete_template 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_template 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_template. 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_template is provided by the Ludus Fast MCP server (tjnull/ludus-fastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
