AI agents call get_cli_script_log 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 logging information related to CLI script execution in FortiManager. While it is fundamentally a Read operation (no data creation, modification, or deletion), the severity is medium because logs may contain sensitive information about system commands executed, configuration changes, or operational details that could be valuable to an attacker for reconnaissance or to understand system behavior.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cli_script_log' indicates retrieval of log data. The 'get_' prefix and 'log' suffix strongly suggest a read operation that retrieves historical CLI script execution logs without modifying system state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_cli_script_log gives an agent:
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_cli_script_log:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_cli_script_log": {}
}
}get_cli_script_log is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_cli_script_log. 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_cli_script_log: 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_cli_script_log 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_cli_script_log 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_cli_script_log. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_cli_script_log 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.
