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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why get_alert_history is rated Low

This tool retrieves historical alert data from FortiManager without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward query operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an agent—at worst, an agent could retrieve large volumes of alert logs, causing performance issues, but no actual system state changes occur.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_alert_history' and description 'Get system alert history' indicate a retrieval operation with no data modification or external effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_alert_history 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_alert_history": {}
  }
}
```
