What wifi_vap_get does on FortiOS 7 6 X MCP Server

Why wifi_vap_get needs a policy

The '_get' suffix indicates data retrieval without modification. VAP (Virtual Access Point) configuration retrieval is a read-only operation that queries existing network settings. Given the FortiOS context (network security appliance), accessing VAP settings poses minimal risk—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'wifi_vap_get' follows the '_get' suffix pattern consistently used for read-only retrieval operations across sibling tools (antivirus_profile_get, automation_setting_get, etc.).

How to control wifi_vap_get

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 wifi_vap_get:

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

wifi_vap_get 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.
