Why assign_prerun_cli_template needs a policy

The description is empty, so the category must be inferred from the name alone. 'Assign_prerun_cli_template' suggests associating a CLI template to run before some operation on a device, which would be a Write action (creating/modifying a configuration association). However, since this involves CLI execution on network devices it could be Execute. Given the ambiguity and empty description, confidence is low.

How to control assign_prerun_cli_template

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for assign_prerun_cli_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "assign_prerun_cli_template": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "assign_prerun_cli_template_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

assign_prerun_cli_template gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
