What list_traffic_classes does on Fortimanager
AI agents call list_traffic_classes 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_traffic_classes is rated Low
This tool retrieves information about traffic classes used for SD-WAN routing configuration. It performs a read-only operation that queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into traffic classification policy but cannot modify network behavior or cause damage through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List traffic classes' — a query operation with no modification or execution.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_traffic_classes 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_traffic_classes, this is the rule to start with:
list_traffic_classes 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_traffic_classes call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_traffic_classes
List traffic classes for SD-WAN application-based routing. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fortimanager MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fortimanager MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_traffic_classes: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Fortimanager. Nothing to install.
list_traffic_classes is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_traffic_classes rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_traffic_classes. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_traffic_classes is provided by the Fortimanager MCP server (jmpijll/fortimanager-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
