Why get_api_user_info needs a policy

This tool retrieves API user information, which is a read operation with no side effects. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The empty description limits confidence slightly, but the name's structure (get_*) is a strong indicator of a Read category tool.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_api_user_info' indicates retrieval of user information without modification. The description is empty, but the naming convention strongly suggests a read-only query operation typical of API servers.

How to control get_api_user_info

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_api_user_info:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_api_user_info": {}
  }
}

get_api_user_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
