WHAT IT DOES

It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it merely fetches and returns status data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an AI agent querying system status cannot cause damage or unintended consequences.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_system_status' and description 'Get OPNsense system status' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
