## Why pfsense_update_services_haproxy_settings is rated Medium

The tool name suggests it updates HAProxy (load balancer/proxy) settings on a pfSense firewall. 'Update' implies Write category — modifying existing configuration. However, misconfiguring HAProxy settings could have significant impact on network availability and security posture. Confidence is low because the description is empty, so the exact behavior is inferred from the name alone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name contains 'update' and 'settings', suggesting configuration modification of HAProxy service on pfSense"

## Use case

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