RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_application_list Allowed

get_application_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FortiManager MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get_application_list call is checked against it from then on.
