WHAT IT DOES

What import_fortiguard_configuration does on Fortimanager

AI agents use import_fortiguard_configuration to create or update resources in Fortimanager, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Fortimanager environment.

RISK

Why import_fortiguard_configuration is rated Medium

Importing a FortiGuard configuration modifies security policies and network settings in FortiManager, which is reversible (can be overwritten or deleted via separate operations). This is a Write operation. Severity is high because misconfigured security policies could expose the network, though the effect is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'import_fortiguard_configuration' indicates it imports/loads configuration data into FortiManager.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs import_fortiguard_configuration 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 import_fortiguard_configuration, this is the rule to start with:

import_fortiguard_configuration Rate-limited

import_fortiguard_configuration stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
