WHAT IT DOES

What create_cli_script does on Fortimanager

AI agents invoke create_cli_script to trigger actions in Fortimanager. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why create_cli_script is rated High

CLI scripts in FortiManager are typically created to be executed on network devices, making this an Execute-category risk. The sibling tools suggest network device management context. However, the description is empty, lowering confidence. The name implies script creation (Write) but CLI scripts in FortiManager are executed on devices, making Execute the more severe and likely applicable category.

From the tool's definition Tool name: 'create_cli_script' — implies creation of a CLI script for execution on network devices managed by FortiManager.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_cli_script 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_cli_script, this is the rule to start with:

create_cli_script Rate-limited

create_cli_script stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every create_cli_script call is checked against it from then on.
