WHAT IT DOES

What firewall_policy_list does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

AI agents call firewall_policy_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.

RISK

Why firewall_policy_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and enumerates firewall policies without modifying, deleting, or executing actions. The lack of description is noted, but the naming convention and context from sibling tools provide sufficient evidence. Severity is low because listing policies is informational only, though it could expose security configuration details to an unauthorized agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'firewall_policy_list' indicates retrieval/enumeration of firewall policies. The '_list' suffix conventionally denotes query operations with no side effects.
