WHAT IT DOES

What pfsense_create_services_wake_on_lan_send does on Pfsense

AI agents invoke pfsense_create_services_wake_on_lan_send to trigger actions in Pfsense. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why pfsense_create_services_wake_on_lan_send is rated High

Wake-on-LAN sends a magic packet over the network to wake remote machines. This is an external operation that triggers real-world effects (powering on hardware). It is not merely writing data, but executing an action with network and physical side effects. Misuse could wake unauthorized devices or be used as part of a broader attack.

From the tool's definition POST /api/v2/services/wake_on_lan/send — 'send' indicates triggering an external network operation (Wake-on-LAN magic packet transmission) to remotely power on devices
