What create_wildcard_fqdn does on Fortimanager
AI agents use create_wildcard_fqdn 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_wildcard_fqdn is rated Medium
Creating wildcard FQDN entries modifies FortiManager security policy configuration. This is reversible (can be updated or deleted), placing it in Write category rather than Execute or Destructive. Severity is high because misconfigured FQDN rules could block legitimate traffic or fail to block malicious domains, impacting network security posture.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_wildcard_fqdn' indicates creation of a DNS wildcard FQDN entry, a network security configuration object. Tool description is empty, limiting certainty.

create_wildcard_fqdn 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_wildcard_fqdn call is checked against it from then on.
