- Homepage: https://github.com/jmpijll/fortimanager-mcp

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "assign_ipsec_template",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why assign_ipsec_template is rated Medium

Assigning a template modifies device configuration settings (IPsec tunnel parameters) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. The assignment is reversible (the template can be unassigned or replaced). However, the blast radius is high because misconfiguration of IPsec tunnels could disrupt network connectivity or security postures.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name and description: 'Assign an IPsec template to a device' — this creates or modifies a device configuration by assigning a template, which is a reversible action."

## Use case

AI agents use assign_ipsec_template to create or update resources in Fortimanager, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Fortimanager environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fortimanager:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "assign_ipsec_template": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "assign_ipsec_template_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
