WHAT IT DOES

What assign_package does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents use assign_package to create or update resources in FortiManager MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FortiManager MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why assign_package is rated Medium

While the empty description reduces confidence slightly, the tool's name and position among write-oriented sibling tools strongly suggest it assigns or applies a package (likely a firewall policy package or configuration bundle) to one or more devices. This is a reversible modification (can be reassigned), not destructive, and has no financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'assign_package' in a FortiManager context alongside similar config management tools like 'assign_sdwan_template', 'assign_system_template', and 'assign_template_group'.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs assign_package safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FortiManager MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For assign_package, this is the rule to start with:

assign_package Rate-limited

assign_package stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
