Get summary statistics of all objects in an ADOM.
AI agents call get_adom_object_summary to retrieve information from Fortimanager without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves summary statistics about objects in an ADOM (Administrative Domain) without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It has no side effects and is purely informational, fitting the Read category with low severity since the blast radius of misuse is minimal (information disclosure only).
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Get summary statistics' — both indicate data retrieval. No modification, deletion, or execution occurs.

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 get_adom_object_summary:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_adom_object_summary": {}
}
}get_adom_object_summary is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get summary statistics of all objects in an ADOM. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fortimanager MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fortimanager MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_adom_object_summary: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Fortimanager. Nothing to install.
get_adom_object_summary is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_adom_object_summary rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

get_adom_object_summary is provided by the Fortimanager MCP server (jmpijll/fortimanager-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Fortimanager, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
