What user_group_get does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server
AI agents call user_group_get 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.
Why user_group_get is rated Low
A 'get' operation on user groups retrieves or queries user group configuration data from FortiOS. This is a read-only operation with no side effects, capability to modify or delete data, or financial impact. The empty description reduces confidence slightly, but the naming convention and sibling tool patterns strongly indicate this is a data retrieval tool.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'user_group_get' follows a consistent GET pattern observed in sibling tools (antivirus_profile_get, automation_setting_get, certificate_ca_list, certificate_local_list). The '_get' suffix conventionally retrieves data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs user_group_get safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For user_group_get, this is the rule to start with:
user_group_get is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server, apply this rule, and every user_group_get call is checked against it from then on.
