WHAT IT DOES

What arvan_net_whois does on ArvanCloud MCP Server

The severity is low because WHOIS data is already publicly available and the tool's purpose is passive information retrieval only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'arvan_net_whois' and description 'WHOIS lookup for a domain or IP' indicate a query operation that retrieves public DNS/registration data without modifying, executing code, or causing side effects.
