WHAT IT DOES

What system_alerts_resolve does on Munin

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

RISK

Why system_alerts_resolve is rated Medium

This tool changes alert status from open to resolved, which is a reversible modification of data (alerts can typically be re-opened or the underlying issue re-flagged). It does not delete data permanently, execute arbitrary code, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool performs 'resolve' action which modifies alert state; description states 'Manually resolve the open alert' indicating a state change operation.
