## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "list_ips_sensors",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why list_ips_sensors is rated Low

The 'list' prefix strongly indicates this is a Read operation that queries and retrieves data without modifying state. No description was provided, which slightly lowers confidence. Severity is medium rather than low because IPS sensor configurations could reveal security posture details useful for attack planning if misused by a compromised agent, but the operation itself is non-destructive.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_ips_sensors' indicates a listing/retrieval operation. The verb 'list' is a read-only query operation."

## Use case

AI agents call list_ips_sensors 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": {
    "list_ips_sensors": {}
  }
}
```
