How to control delete_wildcard_fqdn

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_wildcard_fqdn:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_wildcard_fqdn"
  ]
}

delete_wildcard_fqdn disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
