Firewall Management Task Creation agentic workflow

</td><td>

Uses AI to accept natural-language firewall rule requests, extract required parameters, run a risk analysis, and create a rule task. The risk level determines whether the task is created automatically or requires confirmation.

</td><td>

A firewall administrator wants to request a new firewall rule by describing it in plain language rather than filling out a form manually.
