Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool reads abuse report data from the AbuseIPDB database. It performs a query and returns information about an IP address's reputation/history. There are no side effects, data modifications, code execution, financial transactions, or irreversible actions. The worst-case misuse would be reconnaissance or information gathering, which has limited blast radius.
