WHAT IT DOES

What get_cli_template does on Fortimanager

AI agents call get_cli_template 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.

RISK

Why get_cli_template is rated Low

This tool retrieves information about an existing CLI template without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation against FortiManager configuration data. Severity is low because exposure of template information alone does not enable direct harmful actions, though the information itself could inform further attacks.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cli_template' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific CLI template' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
