WHAT IT DOES

What apstra_list_protocol_sessions does on Hpe Networking

RISK

Why apstra_list_protocol_sessions is rated Low

This tool retrieves and displays information about protocol sessions in an Apstra blueprint. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute commands, or delete anything. The verb 'list' combined with the description indicating it returns 'compact status fields' clearly indicates a read-only retrieval operation. Blast radius is minimal — misuse would only expose network monitoring data.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List protocol sessions' with 'status fields' — purely a query operation with no modification or execution.
