WHAT IT DOES

What unlock_device_workspace does on Fortimanager

AI agents use unlock_device_workspace 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.

RISK

Why unlock_device_workspace is rated Medium

This tool modifies device state by unlocking it, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (not Financial). The severity is medium because unlocking a device could allow unauthorized access or modification if misused by an AI agent, but the operation itself is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unlock_device_workspace' and description 'Unlock a device' indicate a state change operation that modifies device lock status.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

unlock_device_workspace Rate-limited

unlock_device_workspace 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.
