WHAT IT DOES

What test_fortiguard_connection does on Fortimanager

AI agents call test_fortiguard_connection 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 test_fortiguard_connection is rated Low

Even though test_fortiguard_connection only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs test_fortiguard_connection safely

test_fortiguard_connection Allowed

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