commit_adom · FortiManager MCP Server MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What commit_adom does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents invoke commit_adom to trigger actions in FortiManager MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why commit_adom needs a policy

In FortiManager, 'commit' operations typically push or apply pending configuration changes to an ADOM (Administrative Domain), triggering external operations on managed firewall devices. This would classify as Execute (or potentially Write). Given the context of centralized firewall policy management, committing an ADOM can have significant blast radius as it deploys configurations to production network devices.
