WHAT IT DOES

What unifi_archive_all_alarms does on UniFi Access MCP

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

RISK

Why unifi_archive_all_alarms is rated Medium

Archiving alarms changes their status from active to archived/resolved, which is a data modification operation. This is reversible (alarms can typically be unarchived), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'archive' and description states 'Archive (resolve/dismiss) all active alarms' — this modifies the state of alarm records by marking them as resolved/dismissed, which is a reversible change to data.
