What create_adom_revision does on Fortimanager
AI agents use create_adom_revision 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.
Why create_adom_revision is rated Medium
The verb 'create' signifies an irreversible state change—creating an ADOM revision in FortiManager produces a new configuration snapshot. While reversible (revisions can typically be deleted or superseded), this represents a Write-level action that modifies system state. The high severity reflects that misuse could clutter configuration history, trigger unintended deployments, or consume administrative resources.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_adom_revision' indicates creation of a revision object within an ADOM (Administrative Domain) in FortiManager. 'create' denotes a Write operation that generates new configuration state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_adom_revision 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 create_adom_revision, this is the rule to start with:
create_adom_revision 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every create_adom_revision call is checked against it from then on.
