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

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "name": "log_ips_attack",
    "arguments": {}

## Why log_ips_attack is rated Low

The tool appears to retrieve IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) attack logs, a read operation with no side effects. While the description is empty (lowering confidence), the naming pattern strongly suggests this retrieves historical log data rather than creating, modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The blast radius of accidental misuse is low—returning log data poses no immediate operational risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'log_ips_attack' suggests querying/retrieving IPS attack logs. The naming convention aligns with the sibling tools which include 'get' and 'list' operations (e.g., 'antivirus_profile_get', 'certificate_ca_list')."

## Use case

AI agents call log_ips_attack 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:
