WHAT IT DOES

What request_snmp_discovery does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents invoke request_snmp_discovery 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 request_snmp_discovery is rated High

This tool executes an active network scanning operation against a server. While not destructive or financial, SNMP discovery scans can generate significant network traffic, consume resources on the target server, and may have side effects depending on the SNMP configuration and what is discovered.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'request_snmp_discovery' combined with description 'Trigger an SNMP discovery scan on a server' indicates the tool initiates an external operation (SNMP discovery scan) whose effects depend on the target server argument and network environment.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

request_snmp_discovery Rate-limited

request_snmp_discovery 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.
