Implementation Reference

• vmware_nsx/ops/nat_route_mgmt.py:112-136 (handler)

  The actual implementation of the delete_nat_rule function that executes the API call to delete a NAT rule on a Tier-1 gateway.

  def delete_nat_rule(
      client: NsxClient,
      tier1_id: str,
      rule_id: str,
  ) -> dict:
      """Delete a NAT rule from a Tier-1 gateway.
  
      Args:
          client: Authenticated NSX API client.
          tier1_id: Tier-1 gateway identifier.
          rule_id: NAT rule identifier to delete.
  
      Returns:
          Dict with deletion status.
      """
      _validate_id(tier1_id)
      _validate_id(rule_id)
  
      path = (
          f"/policy/api/v1/infra/tier-1s/{tier1_id}"
          f"/nat/USER/nat-rules/{rule_id}"
      )
      client.delete(path)
      _log.info("Deleted NAT rule %s from Tier-1 %s", rule_id, tier1_id)
      return {"deleted": True, "tier1_id": tier1_id, "rule_id": rule_id}

• mcp_server/server.py:598-615 (registration)

  The MCP tool registration and wrapper function for deleting a NAT rule. Note: The import in this file is listed as 'vmware_nsx.ops.nat_mgmt', however the search revealed the code is in 'vmware_nsx.ops.nat_route_mgmt'. It appears 'vmware_nsx/ops/nat_mgmt' may be an alias or misdirection, but the functional implementation is in 'nat_route_mgmt.py'.

  def delete_nat_rule(
      tier1_id: str,
      rule_id: str,
      target: str | None = None,
  ) -> str:
      """Delete a NAT rule from a Tier-1 gateway.
  
      Args:
          tier1_id: The Tier-1 gateway ID.
          rule_id: The NAT rule ID to delete.
          target: Optional NSX Manager target name from config. Uses default if omitted.
