RECOMMENDED RULE

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

trigger_fmg_backup Rate-limited

trigger_fmg_backup stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
