Why list_email_filter_profiles needs a policy

The 'list' prefix strongly suggests this tool retrieves or enumerates email filter profile configurations from FortiManager without side effects. Even though the description is unavailable, the naming convention and context (a FortiManager configuration tool) indicate read-only behavior. Confidence is moderately high due to the clear naming pattern, though slightly reduced by the missing description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_email_filter_profiles' indicates a retrieval operation (list prefix) with no modification or execution semantics.

How to control list_email_filter_profiles

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_email_filter_profiles:

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

list_email_filter_profiles 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.
