- Homepage: https://github.com/paoloamato2/fortinet-mcp-server
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified

- Recommended policy verdict: Allowed

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "system_interface_list",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why system_interface_list is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries system interface configuration data from FortiOS with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The list operation on network interfaces is a standard read-only administrative query with minimal risk of misuse—interfaces are configuration metadata, not sensitive secrets or destructive operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'system_interface_list' follows the naming pattern of sibling tools like 'antivirus_profile_list' and 'certificate_local_list', all of which retrieve/query data without modification."

Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation

## Use case

AI agents call system_interface_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:
