WHAT IT DOES

What get_template does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents call get_template to retrieve information from FortiManager MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why get_template is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns information about an existing provisioning template. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only reads and returns data. This fits squarely within the Read category. The severity is low because unauthorized template inspection poses minimal risk compared to tools that modify configurations or execute commands.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_template' and description 'Get details of a specific provisioning template' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

get_template Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_template": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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