What pause_maintenance_schedule does on Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server

Why pause_maintenance_schedule is rated Medium
Pausing a maintenance schedule modifies its active state reversibly (can be resumed), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium because pausing maintenance could inadvertently stop monitoring or alerting during a critical period, affecting operational visibility, but the action itself is not irreversible and does not involve financial transactions or arbitrary code execution.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it will 'Pause an active maintenance schedule' — this is a reversible state modification operation that changes the status of an existing maintenance window without deleting or permanently destroying it.
