list_address_groups

What list_address_groups does on Fortimanager

AI agents call list_address_groups 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 list_address_groups is rated Low

The tool name strongly suggests it retrieves or enumerates address group configurations from FortiManager. This is a non-destructive, query-based operation typical of administrative monitoring or inventory tasks. Without evidence of side effects (no 'delete', 'create', 'execute', etc.), this falls under Read category. The lack of a description prevents higher confidence, but the naming pattern is clear.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_address_groups' indicates a query/retrieval operation that lists existing address groups. No description provided, but the 'list_' prefix is characteristic of read-only operations that retrieve data without modification.
