## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

## Why execute_device_json_commands is rated High

This tool triggers external operations (JSON command execution against network devices) whose effects depend on the command arguments supplied. While the description is empty, the name and context strongly indicate Execute category behavior.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'execute_device_json_commands' contains 'execute', indicating it runs commands on devices. The server's purpose is to interact with FortiManager (a network security appliance manager), and executing JSON commands against managed devices carries…"

## Use case

AI agents invoke execute_device_json_commands to trigger actions in Fortimanager. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "execute_device_json_commands": {
      "limits": [

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
