# system_interface_update A write tool on the FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `system_interface_update`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/paoloamato2-fortinet-mcp-server/system-interface-update ## Facts - Tool: `system_interface_update` - Server: FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server (`paoloamato2/fortinet-mcp-server`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/paoloamato2-fortinet-mcp-server.md - Homepage: https://github.com/paoloamato2/fortinet-mcp-server - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "system_interface_update", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why system_interface_update is rated Medium The tool modifies system interface settings, which are critical infrastructure components. Misuse could disrupt network connectivity, routing, or firewall functionality. This is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Destructive, as interfaces can be reconfigured. Severity is high due to potential network disruption, but not critical since changes are typically reversible through subsequent updates. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'system_interface_update' indicates modification of system network interface configuration. Description is empty, but the 'update' verb and context (system interfaces) clearly indicates write/modification operations on network infrastructure." Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation ## Use case AI agents use system_interface_update to create or update resources in FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
