What list_tacacs_plus_servers does on Fortimanager
AI agents call list_tacacs_plus_servers 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_tacacs_plus_servers is rated Low
TACACS+ server configurations contain authentication infrastructure details that could be sensitive (IP addresses, server information). Retrieving this information poses medium severity risk if an AI agent misuses access to query sensitive authentication system details, but as a Read operation with no data modification capability, it ranks below Write/Execute/Destructive categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_tacacs_plus_servers' indicates retrieval of TACACS+ server configuration data. The description is empty, limiting certainty, but the 'list_*' verb pattern is consistent with Read operations (query/retrieve without side effects).
