What log_get does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

Why log_get needs a policy

Based on naming convention aligned with other read operations on this server (antivirus_profile_get, certificate_local_list, etc.), this tool retrieves log data without modification. However, logs in FortiOS may contain sensitive information about network traffic, security events, and system operations, warranting medium severity despite being a read-only operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'log_get' which follows the retrieval pattern of sibling tools like 'antivirus_profile_get' and 'certificate_ca_list'. The 'get' suffix indicates a data retrieval operation. The tool description is empty, which limits confidence.

How to control log_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 log_get:

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

log_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.
