List all IPv4 firewall address groups.
AI agents call firewall_addrgrp_list to retrieve information from FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves firewall address group configurations without side effects. Listing address groups is a read-only operation that queries existing data. While firewall configurations could inform attack planning, the tool itself performs no harmful actions and presents minimal risk of direct misuse. Severity is low as the blast radius is limited to information disclosure.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all IPv4 firewall address groups' - a pure query operation with no modification or execution of commands.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access firewall_addrgrp_list gives an agent:
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 firewall_addrgrp_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"firewall_addrgrp_list": {}
}
}firewall_addrgrp_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all IPv4 firewall address groups. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for firewall_addrgrp_list: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server. Nothing to install.
firewall_addrgrp_list is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the firewall_addrgrp_list rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for firewall_addrgrp_list. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
firewall_addrgrp_list is provided by the FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server MCP server (paoloamato2/fortinet-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
