List all WAF signature configurations.
AI agents call waf_signature_list 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 tool queries and returns WAF signature configurations. It performs no destructive, write, execute, or financial operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an attacker gaining access would only be able to view existing WAF signatures, not modify security policies or cause harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all WAF signature configurations' — a read-only operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access waf_signature_list 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 waf_signature_list:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"waf_signature_list": {}
}
}waf_signature_list 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.
List all WAF signature configurations. 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 waf_signature_list: 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.
waf_signature_list 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 waf_signature_list 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 waf_signature_list. 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.
waf_signature_list 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.
Free to start. No card required.
