## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "request_snmp_discovery",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why request_snmp_discovery is rated High

This tool executes an active network scanning operation against a server. While not destructive or financial, SNMP discovery scans can generate significant network traffic, consume resources on the target server, and may have side effects depending on the SNMP configuration and what is discovered.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'request_snmp_discovery' combined with description 'Trigger an SNMP discovery scan on a server' indicates the tool initiates an external operation (SNMP discovery scan) whose effects depend on the target server argument and network environment."

## Use case

AI agents invoke request_snmp_discovery to trigger actions in Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server:
