What user_ldap_list does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

Why user_ldap_list needs a policy

This tool retrieves LDAP authentication server configurations without altering them. While the severity is medium rather than low because LDAP configurations may contain sensitive authentication details (server addresses, bind credentials references, or directory structure information) that could be used for reconnaissance or further attacks, the tool itself performs only data retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all LDAP authentication server configurations', which is a read-only retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

How to control user_ldap_list

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 user_ldap_list:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "user_ldap_list": {}
  }
}

user_ldap_list is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
