WHAT IT DOES

What clone_package does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents use clone_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 clone_package is rated Medium

The name 'clone_package' suggests creating a copy of an existing policy package, which is a Write operation. On a FortiManager system managing centralized firewall policies, cloning packages could have significant impact if misused (e.g., cloning incorrect configurations at scale). However, the empty description lowers confidence. Severity is high given the firewall policy management context.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'clone_package' on a FortiManager server that handles firewall policy management and device provisioning. Description is empty.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs clone_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 clone_package, this is the rule to start with:

clone_package Rate-limited

clone_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.
