WHAT IT DOES

What create_central_snat_policy does on Fortimanager

AI agents use create_central_snat_policy 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.

RISK

Why create_central_snat_policy is rated Medium

Creating a SNAT policy is a reversible configuration change that modifies network traffic routing rules. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive (policies can be deleted/modified later). Severity is high because misconfigured SNAT policies could redirect traffic unexpectedly or bypass security controls, affecting network security posture. Confidence reduced from higher due to empty tool description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_central_snat_policy' indicates creation of a network policy (SNAT = Source Network Address Translation). The 'create' verb establishes this as a write operation. Description is empty, limiting confidence.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_central_snat_policy 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_central_snat_policy, this is the rule to start with:

create_central_snat_policy Rate-limited

create_central_snat_policy 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.
