What get_cli_script does on Fortimanager
AI agents call get_cli_script to retrieve information from Fortimanager without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_cli_script is rated Low
The 'get_' prefix strongly implies a read/retrieval operation, likely fetching a CLI script from FortiManager. No side effects are implied by the name. However, confidence is reduced because the description is empty, leaving some ambiguity. Severity is medium because CLI scripts could contain sensitive configuration or credential information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cli_script' suggests retrieval of a CLI script resource. Description is empty and uninformative.

The rule that runs get_cli_script safely

get_cli_script is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
