## Why create_ipsec_template is rated Medium

This tool creates a new IPsec tunnel template in FortiManager, which is a reversible write operation that modifies the security infrastructure configuration. While it doesn't execute arbitrary code or delete data, creating IPsec templates can significantly impact network security posture and tunnel establishment.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create_ipsec_template' and description 'Create a new IPsec tunnel template' indicate creation of a new configuration artifact."

## Use case

AI agents use create_ipsec_template 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fortimanager:
