What start_guided_session does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server
AI agents invoke start_guided_session 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.
Why start_guided_session is rated High
start_guided_session triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

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