WHAT IT DOES

What clear_database_cache does on Fortimanager

AI agents call clear_database_cache to permanently remove resources in Fortimanager, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why clear_database_cache is rated Critical

The name suggests clearing/purging a database cache, which is typically a destructive and irreversible operation. However, the empty description lowers confidence — 'clear cache' could be a non-destructive flush operation that regenerates automatically. Given the FortiManager context (network security management platform) and the naming pattern, this is more likely a destructive cache purge.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'clear_database_cache' implies irreversible removal of cached database data. Description is empty, providing no additional context.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs clear_database_cache safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clear_database_cache, this is the rule to start with:

clear_database_cache Hidden

clear_database_cache is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
