Why application_list_get needs a policy

The tool performs a retrieval operation ('get') on application list data. No description is provided, which lowers confidence slightly, but the naming convention clearly indicates a read-only operation. There is no evidence of side effects, data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'application_list_get' follows standard GET/read pattern. Description is empty, but naming convention and sibling tools (all ending in _get, _list, or _create) indicate this retrieves application list data without modification.

How to control application_list_get

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for application_list_get:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "application_list_get": {}
  }
}

application_list_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server — 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.
