WHAT IT DOES

What delay_outage does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents use delay_outage 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.

RISK

Why delay_outage is rated Medium

This tool modifies the timing/state of outage notifications by deferring them. It is a reversible modification to notification scheduling state (the outage still exists, only its notification timing is adjusted). It does not delete data, execute code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misuse could suppress timely alerting for real outages, potentially delaying incident response.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delay_outage 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 delay_outage, this is the rule to start with:

delay_outage Rate-limited

delay_outage 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.
