get_device_interfaces
AI agents call get_device_interfaces to retrieve information from FortiManager MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The 'get_' prefix strongly indicates a read-only query operation that retrieves existing device interface information. No write, execute, destructive, or financial operations are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_device_interfaces' uses the 'get' verb, indicating data retrieval. The description is empty, but the naming convention and context within FortiManager (a centralized network management platform) suggests this retrieves interface configuration…

get_device_interfaces. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FortiManager MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FortiManager MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_device_interfaces: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches FortiManager MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_device_interfaces is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_device_interfaces rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_device_interfaces. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
