Get a firewall policy by ID with full match criteria and action.
AI agents call unifi_get_firewall_policy to retrieve information from UniFi Network MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves existing firewall policy configuration. It performs a read-only operation that returns data about a firewall policy. No side effects, data modification, or state changes occur. The presence of other write/destructive tools on the server (create_firewall_policy, unifi_bulk_delete_vouchers, etc.) does not change the classification of this specific read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get a firewall policy by ID with full match criteria and action' — retrieves configuration data without modification.
