Get FortiOS global settings (hostname, admin timeout, language, etc.).
AI agents call system_global_get 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.
This tool performs a data retrieval operation on FortiOS global settings without any side effects. It queries existing configuration state rather than creating, modifying, deleting, or executing actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could learn system configuration details but cannot change system behavior or access restricted data beyond what the authenticated session already permits.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description explicitly states 'Get FortiOS global settings'; retrieves read-only configuration parameters (hostname, admin timeout, language) with no modification or destructive capability.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access system_global_get 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 system_global_get:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"system_global_get": {}
}
}system_global_get is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get FortiOS global settings (hostname, admin timeout, language, etc.). 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 system_global_get: 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.
system_global_get 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 system_global_get 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 system_global_get. 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.
system_global_get 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.
Free to start. No card required.
