AI agents invoke execute_fortimanager_tool 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.
The tool name 'execute_fortimanager_tool' strongly suggests arbitrary command/operation execution against a critical infrastructure management platform. Despite the empty description, the execution semantics are clear: this tool runs operations on FortiManager whose effects depend on arguments supplied by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'execute_fortimanager_tool' with empty description. The name indicates arbitrary execution against FortiManager (a security appliance management platform).
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access execute_fortimanager_tool gives an agent:
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 execute_fortimanager_tool:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"execute_fortimanager_tool": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "execute_fortimanager_tool_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}execute_fortimanager_tool 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.
