AI agents call get_sql_config 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.
The 'get' verb and passive 'configuration' retrieval operation clearly indicate this is a Read action—it fetches data about SQL configuration settings with no side effects. While configuration data may be sensitive, the tool itself performs no destructive, write, execute, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sql_config' and description 'Get SQL database configuration' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns configuration data without modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_sql_config 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_sql_config:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_sql_config": {}
}
}get_sql_config is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get SQL database configuration. 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_sql_config: 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_sql_config 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_sql_config 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_sql_config. 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_sql_config 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.
