WHAT IT DOES

What run_cloud_discovery does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents invoke run_cloud_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 run_cloud_discovery is rated High

This tool executes an automated discovery process against cloud infrastructure using provided credentials. While not destructive by itself, it performs a side-effecting operation that queries and may enumerate cloud resources, potentially generating load or side effects in the monitored environment.

From the tool's definition 'Trigger a cloud discovery run' — the verb 'Trigger' indicates the tool initiates an external operation (cloud discovery) whose effects depend on the credential argument and cloud environment state.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

run_cloud_discovery Rate-limited

run_cloud_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.
