What get_policy_package_checksum does on Fortimanager
AI agents call get_policy_package_checksum 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.
Why get_policy_package_checksum is rated Low
Checksum retrieval is a read-only operation that queries data without modifying, deleting, or executing actions. The tool does not create, modify, or delete policy packages—it only computes or retrieves a hash value for verification purposes. Given the empty description, confidence is reduced from 0.9 to 0.75.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_policy_package_checksum' indicates retrieval of a checksum value for a policy package; the verb 'get' is a read operation. Description is empty, limiting confidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_policy_package_checksum safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fortimanager, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_policy_package_checksum, this is the rule to start with:
get_policy_package_checksum is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every get_policy_package_checksum call is checked against it from then on.
