WHAT IT DOES

What create_script does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents invoke create_script 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.

RISK

Why create_script is rated High

Scripts on a FortiManager platform are typically executable automation artifacts that can run commands against managed devices. 'Create_script' likely creates a script object that can later be executed on firewalls, placing it in the Execute or Write category. Given the context of firewall management and that scripts imply execution capability, Execute is the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_script' on a FortiManager server that manages firewall policies and network configuration via JSON-RPC API. Description is empty and uninformative.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_script Rate-limited

create_script stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
