WHAT IT DOES

What unlock_adom does on FortiManager MCP Server

AI agents use unlock_adom to create or update resources in FortiManager MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your FortiManager MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why unlock_adom is rated Medium

The tool performs a state modification (unlocking an adom/administrative domain) rather than deletion, but affects access control and object state in a centralized firewall management system. Without an explicit description, confidence is moderate. This is categorized as Write rather than Execute because it modifies object state directly rather than executing arbitrary operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'unlock_adom' suggests unlocking an Admin Domain object in FortiManager. The 'unlock' action indicates modification of state/access control on a managed object, which is a reversible write operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

unlock_adom Rate-limited

unlock_adom stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
