## Why get_dns_troubleshooting_tools is rated Low

This tool retrieves or provides access to DNS diagnostic information (such as records, resolution status, or diagnostic reports). It does not modify DNS configuration, execute arbitrary commands, delete data, or commit financial transactions. While diagnostic tools may provide sensitive information about infrastructure, they are fundamentally read-only query operations with no side effects or reversible changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_dns_troubleshooting_tools' and description 'Access DNS troubleshooting and diagnostic tools' indicate retrieval and querying of diagnostic data without modification or execution of system-level operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_dns_troubleshooting_tools to retrieve information from 20i MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
