What list_admin_users does on Fortimanager
AI agents call list_admin_users 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 list_admin_users is rated Low
The tool appears to retrieve administrative user information from FortiManager without modifying or executing actions. While enumerating admin users could inform privilege escalation reconnaissance, the tool itself only reads data. Severity is low because listing users is informational only; the real risk depends on downstream misuse of that information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_admin_users' indicates a query/enumeration operation that retrieves user information. No description provided, but the 'list_' prefix is characteristic of Read operations (search, list, get, fetch).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_admin_users 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 list_admin_users, this is the rule to start with:
list_admin_users 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 list_admin_users call is checked against it from then on.
