WHAT IT DOES

What refresh_knowledge_base does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents invoke refresh_knowledge_base to trigger actions in Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why refresh_knowledge_base is rated High

This tool triggers an active operation — re-ingesting documentation sources — which is an external process execution with side effects (reprocessing and rewriting the knowledge base contents). It goes beyond a simple read and modifies the state of the knowledge base, but it is reversible in the sense that re-running it would re-ingest the same sources.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

refresh_knowledge_base Rate-limited

refresh_knowledge_base stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "counter": "refresh_knowledge_base_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server, apply this rule, and every refresh_knowledge_base call is checked against it from then on.
