get_service_group
AI agents call get_service_group 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 service group configuration from FortiManager. Without a description, confidence is slightly reduced, but the naming pattern combined with the server's management context (firewall policies, device provisioning) suggests this retrieves existing service group data for viewing/auditing purposes. No side effects or modifications implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_service_group' uses the 'get' verb, which conventionally retrieves data without modification. No description provided to suggest otherwise.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_service_group 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.
