THE RISK

Why sync_connector_objects needs a policy

With no description available, classification is uncertain. The name 'sync_connector_objects' could imply a Write or Execute operation (synchronizing data between systems), but could also be a Read operation. Given the sibling tools suggest a network/firewall management context, synchronization likely involves writing/updating connector objects.

From the tool's definition Tool description is empty and uninformative; tool name 'sync_connector_objects' suggests synchronization of connector objects in FortiManager context

POLICY

How to control sync_connector_objects

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 sync_connector_objects:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sync_connector_objects": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sync_connector_objects_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

sync_connector_objects gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

Questions about sync_connector_objects

What does the sync_connector_objects tool do? +

sync_connector_objects. It is categorised as a Other tool in the Fortimanager MCP Server, which means it performs auxiliary operations.

How do I enforce a policy on sync_connector_objects? +

Register the Fortimanager MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sync_connector_objects: 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.

What risk level is sync_connector_objects? +

Can I rate-limit sync_connector_objects? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sync_connector_objects 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.

How do I block sync_connector_objects completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sync_connector_objects. 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.

What MCP server provides sync_connector_objects? +

sync_connector_objects 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.

Enforce policy on every Fortimanager tool call.

Start from Fortimanager, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
