## 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 own definition: "Tool name 'get_template' and description 'Get details of a specific provisioning template' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches FortiManager MCP Server:

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