WHAT IT DOES

What list_ca_certificates does on Fortimanager

AI agents call list_ca_certificates 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 list_ca_certificates is rated Low

The tool retrieves CA certificates from FortiManager, which is a read-only data retrieval operation. No side effects or modifications occur. The empty description lowers confidence slightly, but the clear 'list' verb in the name strongly indicates a read operation with low blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_ca_certificates' indicates a listing/query operation. The verb 'list' is a typical read operation that retrieves data without modifying it.

list_ca_certificates Allowed

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