AI agents call log_dns 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.
Despite the empty description reducing confidence, DNS logging tools typically retrieve historical log entries without side effects. The 'log_' prefix is consistent with Read category tools that query existing data. This is consistent with the sibling tools on the server (antivirus_profile_get, antivirus_settings_get, certificate_ca_list) which are retrieval-oriented.
From the tool's definition Tool named 'log_dns' with empty description suggests querying or retrieving DNS log data. The 'log_' prefix and DNS context indicate data retrieval rather than modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access log_dns 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 log_dns:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"log_dns": {}
}
}log_dns is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

log_dns. 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 log_dns: 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.
log_dns 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 log_dns 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 log_dns. 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.
log_dns 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.
