WHAT IT DOES

What apply_template_to_group does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

RISK

Why apply_template_to_group is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies monitoring configurations across a group of servers. While the change is reversible (a different template could be applied), it alters operational state and monitoring policies for potentially many servers, warranting Write category. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could degrade visibility or alerting across infrastructure, but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool applies (modifies) monitoring template configuration to all servers in a group—'Apply a monitoring template to all servers in a server group.' This is a configuration change that affects multiple resources.
