What getAvailableRoles does on Tplink Omada

AI agents call getAvailableRoles to retrieve information from Tplink Omada without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why getAvailableRoles is rated Low

This tool queries and returns a list of available roles. It performs no modifications, deletions, or execution of commands. While the broader server context mentions 'executing arbitrary Omada API calls,' this specific tool is explicitly a read-only retrieval of role information. The severity is low because listing available roles poses minimal risk even if retrieved by an AI agent without authorization.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'getAvailableRoles' and description 'Get the list of roles available for assignment to users' indicate a data retrieval operation with no side effects.
