WHAT IT DOES

What get_device_proxy_capabilities does on Fortimanager

AI agents call get_device_proxy_capabilities 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_device_proxy_capabilities is rated Low

The tool appears to query/retrieve proxy capabilities from devices managed by FortiManager, which is a read-only information gathering operation. However, confidence is moderate because the empty description prevents confirmation that this doesn't trigger side effects or execute device operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_device_proxy_capabilities' suggests retrieval of device configuration capabilities; no mutation keywords present. Description is empty, limiting certainty.
