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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "name": "update_snmp_resource",

## Why update_snmp_resource is rated Medium

This tool modifies SNMP resource configuration on a server, which is a reversible write operation. However, it carries high severity because misconfiguration of SNMP resources can impact monitoring capabilities, alerting, and network visibility. An AI agent misusing this could disable critical monitoring on production servers or redirect sensitive metrics.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'update_snmp_resource' and description states 'Update an existing SNMP resource on a server.' The 'update' verb indicates modification of configuration data."

## Use case

AI agents use update_snmp_resource 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.
