WHAT IT DOES

What query_ips_applications does on Fortimanager

AI agents call query_ips_applications 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.

RISK

Why query_ips_applications is rated Low

The tool name pattern 'query_*' categorizes it as Read. However, confidence is moderate (0.7) rather than high because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity about the actual implementation. IPS application data queries are sensitive but typically read-only, warranting medium severity due to potential information disclosure about security configurations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'query_ips_applications' indicates a query operation on IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) applications data. The 'query' prefix strongly suggests data retrieval without modification.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs query_ips_applications 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 query_ips_applications, this is the rule to start with:

query_ips_applications Allowed

query_ips_applications is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
