What unassign_ipsec_template does on Fortimanager

AI agents use unassign_ipsec_template to create or update resources in Fortimanager — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Fortimanager environment.

Why unassign_ipsec_template needs a policy

Unassigning an IPsec tunnel template modifies the device's configuration by removing the template association. This is a reversible write operation (the template can be reassigned), but carries high severity because removing IPsec tunnel configuration from a network device can disrupt VPN connectivity and impact network security posture.

How to control unassign_ipsec_template

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 unassign_ipsec_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unassign_ipsec_template": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "unassign_ipsec_template_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

unassign_ipsec_template stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
