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

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

## Why certificate_local_list is rated Low

This tool performs a query/list operation on local certificates, which is a read-only action that retrieves data from the FortiOS device without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could enumerate certificates but cannot alter them or trigger system operations. This is a standard Read category tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'certificate_local_list' and description 'List local (device) certificates' indicate a read-only operation that retrieves certificate data without modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call certificate_local_list to retrieve information from FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "certificate_local_list": {}
  }
}
```
