## Why pfsense_get_services_dns_forwarder_apply_status is rated Low

This tool queries the current status of a DNS forwarder configuration without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. Despite the word 'apply' in the endpoint, the GET method indicates it is retrieving status information. It has minimal blast radius as it only returns state information about the DNS service.

From the tool's own definition: "GET /api/v2/services/dns_forwarder/apply - HTTP GET method that retrieves the apply status of the DNS forwarder service"

## Use case
