AI agents call get_adom_where_used 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.
Despite the empty description lowering confidence slightly, the naming convention strongly indicates this tool retrieves or queries data about ADOM usage without modifying state. No side effects are implied. This is a Read category operation with low blast radius if misused—it may reveal sensitive organizational structure, but cannot alter configurations or cause destructive actions.

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

get_adom_where_used 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.
