AI agents call log_traffic_forward 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.
The tool name strongly implies querying or retrieving traffic forwarding logs from a Fortinet firewall. 'Log' typically indicates read-only data access, and 'traffic_forward' likely refers to inspecting traffic forwarding records or configurations. While the description is empty (lowering confidence), the naming pattern and server context suggest this retrieves information without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'log_traffic_forward' suggests forwarding or retrieving traffic logs from FortiOS. The context of sibling tools being primarily read operations (get, list, profiles) and the 'log' prefix indicates data retrieval rather than modification or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access log_traffic_forward 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_traffic_forward:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"log_traffic_forward": {}
}
}log_traffic_forward is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

log_traffic_forward. 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_traffic_forward: 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.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the log_traffic_forward 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_traffic_forward. 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_traffic_forward 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.
