AI agents call get_ha_sync_status 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 performs a read-only retrieval of HA synchronization status data. It queries the state of the FortiManager's High Availability configuration but does not create, modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial operations. The 'Get' verb and 'status' retrieval nature confirm this is a Read category tool with low severity impact since it only accesses informational data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_ha_sync_status' and description 'Get High Availability synchronization status' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying or executing actions.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_ha_sync_status 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_ha_sync_status:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_ha_sync_status": {}
}
}get_ha_sync_status is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get High Availability synchronization status. 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_ha_sync_status: 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_ha_sync_status 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_ha_sync_status 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_ha_sync_status. 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_ha_sync_status 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.
