Remove a porthijack rule permanently.
AI agents call delete_phj_service to permanently remove resources in Firegex — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently deletes firewall rules, which cannot be undone. Deletion of security infrastructure rules is a destructive action with potential blast radius—an agent removing critical firewall rules could degrade network security posture. However, severity is 'high' rather than 'critical' because the impact is scoped to a single porthijack service rather than system-wide compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Remove a porthijack rule permanently.' The use of 'permanently' and 'Remove' indicates irreversible deletion of firewall configuration.

delete_phj_service 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_phj_service 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_phj_service. 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_phj_service is provided by the Firegex MCP server (umbra2728/firegex-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
