Why get_object_type_option_attributes needs a policy

The 'get' prefix strongly suggests this is a read operation that retrieves or queries attribute information about object types and their options. No description is provided, but the naming pattern is consistent with Read category tools (get, fetch, list, query). The blast radius of retrieving configuration attribute metadata is low, as no data is modified, deleted, or executed.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get_object_type_option_attributes' with 'get' prefix, indicating a retrieval operation. Description is empty, limiting definitive assessment.

How to control get_object_type_option_attributes

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_object_type_option_attributes:

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

get_object_type_option_attributes 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.
