## Why update_server_group is rated Medium

The tool updates metadata (name/description) of a server group, which is a reversible Write operation. It does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could affect monitoring visibility or group organization across the monitored infrastructure, but the change is non-destructive and can be reverted.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update server group name and/or description' — this modifies existing configuration data (name and description fields) reversibly without deletion or recreation."

## Use case

AI agents use update_server_group 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.
