# insert_policy_block A write tool on the Fortimanager MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `insert_policy_block`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/insert-policy-block ## Facts - Tool: `insert_policy_block` - Server: Fortimanager (`jmpijll/fortimanager-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/jmpijll/fortimanager-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "insert_policy_block", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why insert_policy_block is rated Medium The tool inserts (creates/modifies) a firewall policy block, which is a reversible write operation. While not destructive (policies can be modified or removed), misuse could significantly impact network security posture by introducing unintended firewall rules. The high severity reflects the critical nature of firewall policy management in enterprise environments. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'insert_policy_block' indicates creation/insertion of a policy block into FortiManager. Sibling tools like 'add_policies_to_block' and 'add_ips_rule' confirm this server performs write operations on firewall policies." ## Use case AI agents use insert_policy_block 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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fortimanager: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "insert_policy_block": { "limits": [ { "counter": "insert_policy_block_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on Fortimanager (583) - `bulk_delete_security_profile_entries` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/bulk-delete-security-profile-entries.md - `clear_database_cache` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/clear-database-cache.md - `delete_adom_revision` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-adom-revision.md - `delete_central_dnat_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-central-dnat-policy.md - `delete_central_snat_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-central-snat-policy.md - `delete_certificate_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-certificate-template.md - `delete_cli_script` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-cli-script.md - `delete_cli_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-cli-template.md - `delete_cli_template_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-cli-template-group.md - `delete_custom_application` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-custom-application.md - `delete_device_blueprint` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-device-blueprint.md - `delete_device_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-device-group.md - `delete_dns_filter_domain` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-dns-filter-domain.md - `delete_dynamic_interface` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-dynamic-interface.md - `delete_external_threat_feed` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-external-threat-feed.md - `delete_firewall_address` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-firewall-address.md - `delete_firewall_policy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-firewall-policy.md - `delete_firewall_zone` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-firewall-zone.md - `delete_fortiap_profile` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-fortiap-profile.md - `delete_fortiextender` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-fortiextender.md - `delete_internet_service_fqdn` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-internet-service-fqdn.md - `delete_internet_service_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-internet-service-group.md - `delete_ip_pool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-ip-pool.md - `delete_ips_sensor` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-ips-sensor.md - `delete_ipsec_phase1_interface` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-ipsec-phase1-interface.md - `delete_ipsec_phase2_interface` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-ipsec-phase2-interface.md - `delete_ipsec_template` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-ipsec-template.md - `delete_meta_field` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-meta-field.md - `delete_object_metadata` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-object-metadata.md - `delete_policy_block` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp/delete-policy-block.md - …and 553 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/jmpijll-fortimanager-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
