RECOMMENDED RULE

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

execute_device_json_commands Rate-limited

execute_device_json_commands 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.
