RISK

Why create_contact is rated Medium

This tool creates a new contact record in the FortiMonitor system, which is a reversible write operation. The contact can be modified or deleted later. While it affects notification routing, it does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_contact' and description indicates 'Create a new notification contact.' The verb 'create' and the action of adding a new contact entity demonstrate data creation.
