Get real-time resource usage: CPU, memory, disk, sessions.
AI agents call system_resource_usage 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 is a straightforward read operation that queries system status and performance metrics. It has no side effects, cannot modify state, and poses minimal risk even if an AI agent calls it repeatedly. The data retrieved is informational only.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Get real-time resource usage: CPU, memory, disk, sessions' — purely retrieves monitoring data with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access system_resource_usage 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_resource_usage:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"system_resource_usage": {}
}
}system_resource_usage 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 real-time resource usage: CPU, memory, disk, sessions. 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_resource_usage: 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_resource_usage 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_resource_usage 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_resource_usage. 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_resource_usage 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.
