Delete an HAProxy frontend

How to control haproxy_frontend_delete ↓

AI agents call haproxy_frontend_delete to permanently remove resources in OPNSense MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool performs an irreversible deletion of infrastructure configuration. Once a frontend is deleted, the action cannot be undone without manual restoration. The blast radius is high because deleting a frontend will immediately interrupt traffic handling for all services relying on that frontend.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete an HAProxy frontend'. HAProxy frontends are critical network components that define how traffic is received and processed; deleting one irreversibly removes this configuration and disrupts traffic…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access haproxy_frontend_delete gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OPNSense MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for haproxy_frontend_delete:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "haproxy_frontend_delete"
  ]
}

haproxy_frontend_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register OPNSense MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
