## Why update_server_attribute is rated Medium

This tool modifies server configuration data rather than reading it (Read), executing external operations (Execute), permanently deleting data (Destructive), or handling financial transactions (Financial). Severity is medium because misconfiguration of server attributes could degrade monitoring visibility or cause operational issues, but the change is not catastrophic and is reversible.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_server_attribute' and description 'Update the value of an existing server attribute' indicate modification of data. The action is reversible (attributes can be updated again to previous values), not destructive or financial."

AI agents use update_server_attribute to create or update resources in Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Unofficial FortiMonitor MCP Server environment.
