What create_device_blueprint does on Fortimanager
AI agents use create_device_blueprint 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_device_blueprint is rated Medium
This tool creates a new device blueprint in FortiManager, which is a reversible write operation. The action modifies system configuration by adding a new blueprint object. While the severity is medium (configuration changes could impact network operations if misconfigured), the action is not destructive (can be deleted) nor does it execute arbitrary code or move funds.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_device_blueprint' and description states 'Create a device blueprint.' The verb 'create' indicates data creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_device_blueprint 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_device_blueprint, this is the rule to start with:
create_device_blueprint 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_device_blueprint call is checked against it from then on.
