What create_user does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server
AI agents use create_user to create or update resources in Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server environment.
Why create_user is rated Medium
This tool creates new user accounts, which is a reversible write operation that modifies system state by adding authentication credentials and access permissions. While reversible (the user can be deleted), the severity is high because unauthorized user creation could grant attackers persistent access to the monitoring system, potentially exposing sensitive infrastructure data or enabling further privilege…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_user' and description 'Create a new user in FortiMonitor' indicate creation of a new account/identity in the system.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_user safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_user, this is the rule to start with:
create_user stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server, apply this rule, and every create_user call is checked against it from then on.
