## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "validate_cli_script",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why validate_cli_script is rated High

The tool name 'validate_cli_script' suggests interaction with CLI scripts. While 'validate' might imply a read-only check, in network management contexts (FortiManager) validation of CLI scripts can involve executing them in a test mode or triggering external operations. Given the sibling tools context (policy installs, device management), this likely executes or at minimum triggers evaluation of CLI commands.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'cli_script' suggesting execution of CLI commands; description is empty providing no further clarification"

## Use case

AI agents invoke validate_cli_script to trigger actions in Fortimanager. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Fortimanager:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "validate_cli_script": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "validate_cli_script_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
