WHAT IT DOES

What list_dem_instances does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

AI agents call list_dem_instances to retrieve information from Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_dem_instances is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists existing DEM (Digital Experience Monitoring) application instances. It performs a read-only query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve monitoring data it shouldn't access, but cannot modify or delete anything.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_dem_instances' and description 'List monitoring instances for a specific DEM application' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no side effects.
