What wait_for_task_completion does on Fortimanager

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs wait_for_task_completion 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 wait_for_task_completion, this is the rule to start with:
wait_for_task_completion stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fortimanager, apply this rule, and every wait_for_task_completion call is checked against it from then on.
