WHAT IT DOES

What firewall_rules_detailed does on Mcp Windows

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

RISK

Why firewall_rules_detailed is rated Low

This tool reads and retrieves firewall configuration information. While it does not modify data (ruling out Write/Destructive), the information exposed could be sensitive—firewall rules reveal network security posture and can inform an attacker about system defenses. Misuse could aid reconnaissance, but the tool itself performs no destructive or active operations.

From the tool's definition 'List firewall rules' indicates retrieval of existing firewall configuration data without modification. The description specifies 'detailed port and address info' which is querying system state.
