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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "monitor_system_process_list",

## Why monitor_system_process_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries system process information without any side effects. It is a read-only monitoring operation that gathers diagnostic data about running processes. While process information could theoretically inform privilege escalation attempts, the tool itself only retrieves data and does not execute, modify, or delete anything.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List running FortiOS processes with CPU and memory usage' - a purely informational query operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability."

## Use case

AI agents call monitor_system_process_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.

## 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:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "monitor_system_process_list": {}
  }
}
```
