WHAT IT DOES

What update_onsight does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents use update_onsight 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 update_onsight is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly (update operation on an OnSight instance). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The Write category applies. Severity is medium rather than high because updates to monitoring instances could affect visibility/alerting but are typically reversible and don't cause immediate infrastructure damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_onsight' and description 'Update an existing OnSight instance' indicate modification of existing monitoring/management configuration data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

update_onsight Rate-limited

update_onsight 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.
