WHAT IT DOES

What fetch_object_members does on Fortimanager

AI agents call fetch_object_members to retrieve information from Fortimanager without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why fetch_object_members is rated Low

The tool's name indicates a read operation that queries or retrieves object member information from FortiManager. While the empty description limits certainty, the verb 'fetch' strongly suggests data retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetch_object_members' uses the verb 'fetch', which retrieves data without modifying it. The description is empty, preventing higher confidence assessment.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs fetch_object_members safely

fetch_object_members Allowed

fetch_object_members is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every fetch_object_members call is checked against it from then on.
