Why commit_adom_workspace needs a policy

Based on the name, 'commit' suggests finalizing or saving changes to an ADOM (Administrative Domain) workspace in FortiManager, which is a write/save operation. This would make pending configuration changes permanent within the workspace context. However, without a description, confidence is low.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'commit_adom_workspace' — no description provided.

How to control commit_adom_workspace

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 commit_adom_workspace:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "commit_adom_workspace": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "commit_adom_workspace_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

commit_adom_workspace 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.

  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.
