Why list_adoms needs a policy

This tool queries and returns a list of administrative domains without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. It is a read-only operation with minimal security risk—the worst case being exposure of ADOM names, which are typically not sensitive but could inform further reconnaissance.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_adoms' and description 'List all Administrative Domains (ADOMs)' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control list_adoms

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 list_adoms:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_adoms": {}
  }
}

list_adoms is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Fortimanager — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
